Seize the opportunity to own a collector's dream of ultra-high grade coins with this legendary 1956 Minnesota Proof Set. The Minnesota silver proof set hoard is the largest Mint-sealed, unopened collection in the history of numismatics. The package includes only virgin sets, most of which are still in the unopened bulk shipping cartons packaged and sealed by the Mint in mid-1956. If you're an avid coin collector, you'll know that approximately two dozen previously lost ships carrying priceless treasures have been found and dispersed throughout the numismatic community. Only one early U.S. silver proof set collection with a 5-star rating has ever been found, the gigantic Minnesota Silver Hoard. These coins contain the immaculate U.S. Mint sealed flat pack. Every set is pristine, exactly as it left the Mint some 48 years ago. Each set was, and remains, packaged and sealed by the United States Mint in the actual year of issue. There is no dust, scuffs, writing or harsh handling - the sets are virtually flawless. The set contains 5 coins - a Lincoln cent through a Franklin half-dollar. Note: All items considered for return must be in their original condition as sold. Seals and cases contribute to the value of the coin and currency collectibles and must remain intact and unbroken. This applies but is not limited to: grading cases, Mint and Proof cases and packages, bag seals, original government sealed packaging and/or any other special packaging or containers.
