Let's talk about Bella Hawk LLC first.

They’re a team of passionate collectors themselves, dedicated to sourcing high-quality, authentic coins and sets, and getting them into the hands of people who truly appreciate them. They focus on building trust and providing a great experience for every customer, whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out. They hand-pick each item, ensuring everything meets their strict standards before it’s offered for sale. Now, back to the star of the show: the 1966 Proof Set. For those who aren't completely familiar with numismatics (that’s the fancy word for coin collecting), a “Proof” set is something special. These aren’t coins that ended up in your pocket after a trip to the store. They're made with extra care, struck multiple times with specially polished dies, and handled with gloves – basically, the absolute best possible quality. The result? Coins that are virtually flawless, with mirror-like surfaces and sharp, detailed designs. But the 1966 Proof Set is even more interesting than most. Why? Because it was the last year the US Mint produced proof sets containing silver 90% silver coins before a major compositional change. Starting in 1965, the silver content in circulating US coins began to decrease, ultimately leading to the removal of silver from dimes, quarters, and half dollars. The 1966 proof set represents the final vestige of that silver standard in a proof format. Think about that for a second. This isn’t just a collection of coins; it’s a tangible link to a bygone era, a time when pocket change actually contained precious metal! It’s a piece of American history you can hold in your hand. What’s included in the 1966 Proof Set? The standard 1966 Proof Set includes the following: Penny (Lincoln Cent): A gleaming copper penny, struck with exceptional detail. Nickel (Jefferson Nickel): A brilliant white nickel, showcasing a sharp portrait of Thomas Jefferson. Dime (Roosevelt Dime): A 90% silver dime, mirroring the classic design of Franklin D. Roosevelt. This is where the silver content really matters! Quarter (Washington Quarter): Another 90% silver coin, featuring the iconic portrait of George Washington. Half Dollar (Kennedy Half Dollar): The largest denomination in the set, also 90% silver, and showing John F. Kennedy. Original Government Packaging: The set comes in its original US Mint packaging, adding to its collectibility and preserving its condition. Why is this particular 1966 Proof Set special?
