2010 Proof Set

2010 Proof Lincoln Cent

The 2010 United States Proof Set is expected to be released in July or August of 2010. The sets will include a total of 14 different coins. This is a decrease from last year's set which had contained 18 coins.

The 2010 Proof Set will include the debut of the first five America the Beautiful Quarters. This series will feature one National Park or Site in each of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Territories. The places featured on the 2010 coins will include Hot Spring National Park in Arkansas, Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, Yosemite National Park in California, Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona, and Mount Hood National Forest in Oregon.

Other highlights of the set will include the 2010 Presidential Dollars, including the coin featuring President Abraham Lincoln, and the newly redesigned 2010 Lincoln Cent.

All coins included in the set are produced at the San Francisco Mint and carry the "S" mint mark. These proof coins are struck with sharp detail and display mirrored backgrounds and frosted raised elements for a cameo contrast. The annual proof set has become a collector favorite and a popular method of obtaining examples of each year's coins.

The following coins are included in the 2010 US Proof Set:

  • 2010-S Proof Lincoln Cent
  • 2010-S Proof Jefferson Nickel

The United States Mint will also issue separate sets containing only a portion of the coins in the complete set. The 2009 America the Beautiful Quarter Proof Set will contain the five quarters and the 2009 Presidential Dollar Proof Set will contain just the four Presidential Dollars. A set containing 90% silver coins will also be issued as the 2010 Silver Proof Set.
