We just obtained a date run of early date US proof sets in an estate auction. 1940 is an early key date set with only 11,246 total sets minted! This is a superb early US proof set offered as we received it. The set has the all coins in genuine proof condition, they are full luster and have highly mirrored fields. Some have frosted devices. The proof set pictured is the one you will receive, it is lightly toned and comes in a white acrylic holder as pictured. Please note we have removed the clear plastic cover to reduce reflection when photographed, they will be replaced when you receive the set. These old sets are becoming harder and harder to obtain. We have provided large close up photos of the coins for your inspection.
