Both sets contain five proof coins with each carrying an ‘S’ mint mark that designates their production at the San Francisco Mint. Proof coins feature frosted foregrounds against mirror-like backgrounds. The finish is top-tier for collector coins.
The two special occasion gift sets have the following four coins in common:
- 2019-S Proof Lincoln Cent
- 2019-S Proof Jefferson Nickel
- 2019-S Proof Roosevelt Dime
- 2019-S Proof Kennedy Half-Dollar
Both sets also have one 2019-dated proof America the Beautiful quarter dollar. There are five unique quarter designs for this year.
The Birth Set has a 2019-S Lowell National Historical Park quarter for Massachusetts. It bears the first quarter design for 2019 with circulation strikes scheduled to launch in February.
