Coins - 2002 Proof Set Certificate of Authenticity and Coin Specifications

 

Inside the double lens box, the folded Certificate of Authenticity included a message from the Director of the Mint and the coin specifications for each of the ten coins.

2002 Proof Set Certificate of Authenticity 

The text says:

2002 United States Mint Proof Set®
Certificate of Authenticity

The United States Mint certifies that this Proof Set of current United States coinage was produced and packaged at the United States Mint, San Francisco, California. Each coin bears the "S" mint mark of that facility.

United States proof coins are produced from carefully selected planchets, or coin blanks, that have been burnished to a high luster. The polished blanks, which are carefully handled to minimize scratches and abrasions, are struck on specially adapted coining presses. Each coin is struck at least twice to bring forth the most minute detail with remarkable clarity.

The 50 State Quarters™ Program is authorized by Public Law 105-124. The coins are created to honor each of the 50 States in the order in which they entered the Union. Their designs depict the history, geography, and the rich diversity of our national heritage.
