LOT 341 - 2005 United States Mint 50 State Quarters Proof Sets Collection
Description

This collection consists of four identical 2005 United States Mint 50 State Quarters Proof Sets, each containing five proof quarters commemorating California, Minnesota, Oregon, Kansas, and West Virginia. Each quarter in these sets is struck in copper-nickel clad composition (8.33% nickel, balance copper) with a brilliant mirror-like finish and frosted relief details characteristic of proof coins. The quarters feature state-specific reverse designs including "John Muir and Yosemite Valley" (California), "Land of 10,000 Lakes" (Minnesota), "Crater Lake" (Oregon), "Buffalo and Sunflower" (Kansas), and "New River Gorge" (West Virginia).

All sets are housed in their original U.S. Mint protective acrylic cases with patriotic blue background and official 50 State Quarters Program logos and Treasury Department insignia. The collection includes the original packaging with maps showing state admission dates, eagle imagery, and complete certificates of authenticity for each set. The detailed specification cards identify each quarter's designer, engraver, and precise physical specifications.

The proof coins exhibit the superior striking quality and finish of U.S. Mint proof products. The coins may show light signs of handling, and the outer boxes may show minor signs of shelf wear, corner rubbing, or light scuffs consistent with age and storage. All protective cases remain in generally good condition with potential minimal wear to exterior packaging.
