1996 Clad Proof Set

Greysheet Catalog Details (GSID: 11034) Original Packaging: A two-piece, transparent plastic casing with frosted borders held a green fiberboard insert containing holes for the coins. This was slipped into a green cardboard box upon which the words “UNITED STATES MINT PROOF SET • 1996” were printed in silver script. Commentary: Not since 1960 had there been a regular Proof set with such a modest mintage! Interest in these sets was perhaps at an all-time low, as they competed with silver Proof sets, commemorative coins, and American Eagle bullion coins for the collector’s disposable income. While the current value of uncertified 1996 sets is surprisingly low, it is likely that this set will prove to be a winner in the long run. This year’s Prestige Proof set featured one clad half dollar and one silver dollar from among the several issues of the 1996 Olympiad. This set had a shockingly low mintage of only 55,000 units sold! As noted for the Premier Proof sets, however, the coins themselves were available in much larger numbers, and it is only the unique packaging option that is rare. Should a broader market for these rare variants ever emerge, this set will become a highly sought item.

About CDN Prices
All CDN prices are based on proprietary market knowledge and technology developed by CDN Publishing, LLC.
CPG® prices represent retail levels. Collectors should refer to CPG values as a starting place for their negotiations, or auction bid reference.
Greysheet/Greensheet prices are wholesale market levels for collectible coins/paper money intended to indicate what a dealer, or wholesale, buyer would pay for the described item in the specified grade. Greysheet/Greensheet represent "sight-seen" values based on a buyer's in-hand review. The actual value can be more or less than this depending on factors including eye appeal and market timing.
Bluesheet (NGC & PCGS) prices represent the highest sight-unseen offers to buy on dealer networks like CDN Exchange. In many cases, there are no active sight-unseen buy offers, so CDN looks to the recent lowest market values for such an item. For this reason, Bluesheet values typically represent the floor of the market for the specified item. CDN only tracks Bluesheet on certain items.
CAC prices are for U.S. coins that meet the standards of the Certified Acceptance Corporation. You can learn more about CAC on their web site.
Price movement is indicated for price changes in the last 30 days.
The prices listed in our database are intended to be used as an indication only. Users are strongly encouraged to seek multiple sources of pricing before making a final determination of value.
