Coins - Proof Sets 1980-1989

The Proof Sets of the 1980s start with a black package, however it is smaller than the black Proof Sets packaging of the 1970s. Similar to, yet different from the earlier easel attachment, the new package contained a separate black plastic holder that allowed the set to be displayed upright.

After three years of these new black Proof Sets, the style changed again, and the upright display components disappeared. In 1983, the Mint reverted to one year of blue packaging similar to the late 60s and early 70s before changing to a purple package with a single lens for the Proof Sets through the rest of the 80s.

The 1980 and 1981 Proof Sets included six coins - the Lincoln penny, the Jefferson nickel, the Roosevelt dime, the Washington quarter, the Kennedy half dollar and the Susan B. Anthony dollar coin. The Anthony dollar was not minted either for circulation or for inclusion in Proof Sets during the rest of the 80s. The Proof Sets of 1982 through 1989 only contained the penny, nickel, dime, quarter and half dollar coins.

Beginning in 1986, the US Mint added a card including the specifications for each of the coins included in the Proof Sets. For 1986, the card stated the year, but in subsequent years, the card did not have a specific year noted. For the 80s, the coin specifications were printed using purple ink on heavy card stock of light purple to match the outer box.
