1997-S Silver Premier Proof Set Cent-Half Dollar PR 5 Coins Values
Details
Original Packaging: A two-piece, transparent plastic casing with frosted borders held a black fiberboard insert containing holes for the coins. Printed on this insert was the word “Silver” in silver script. The assembled set was slipped into a black cardboard box upon which the words “UNITED STATES MINT SILVER PROOF SET • 1997” were printed in silver script.
Commentary: A modest but fairly typical mintage was recorded for the 1997 silver Proof sets. These are in constant demand, as is true for nearly all Proof sets of the 1990s.
Offered this year at $37.50 per set, the silver Premier Proof set was nearing the end of its days. Some 136,205 sets were sold for 1997, and these remain quite scarce.
This coin is made of Silver and has a current melt value of $36.63
