Produced and issued for the coin collector community, the United States Mint will release its 2025 Proof Set today at noon ET. Found within this year’s annual set are ten proof quality examples of the nation’s circulating coinage, all manufactured at the U.S. Mint’s San Francisco facility.
Each clad coin in the set features the U.S. Mint’s proof finish, highlighting sharp reliefs and mirror-like backgrounds with frosted, sculpted foregrounds. Struck multiple times with polished dies and hand-polished blanks, these coins exhibit greater detail than their circulating counterparts.
This year’s proof set includes ten coins:
- 2025-S Native American $1 Coin (honoring Mary Kawena Pukui)
- 2025-S Kennedy Half Dollar
- 2025-S Ida B. Wells Quarter
- 2025-S Juliette Gordon Low Quarter
- 2025-S Dr. Vera Rubin Quarter
- 2025-S Stacey Park Milbern Quarter
- 2025-S Althea Gibson Quarter
- 2025-S Roosevelt Dime
- 2025-S Jefferson Nickel
- 2025-S Lincoln Cent
The set’s five quarters are housed together in a single protective lens, mirroring their presentation in the earlier released 2025 Quarters Proof Set, which contained the same coins and launched on February 20. These quarters stand out not only for their designs but also because they are issued exclusively in 2025.
Another year-specific release in the set is the Mary Kawena Pukui Native American $1 Coin, which will also be produced only in 2025. The remaining five coins – the Kennedy half dollar, Roosevelt dime, Jefferson nickel, and Lincoln cent – feature longstanding designs that have appeared in previous years.

How is the best way to make 6% in the Gold market?
Cag: interesting process….hope it pays for you. Many pieces in motion within the international gold market right now….. to quote Cali quoting Yoda “difficult to see the future it is” question: are tariffs applied to metal based funds where the metal is physically located off shore US?
That is the assumption. That is why JP Morgan has been flying all the tons and tons and tons of Gold from Great Britain to the United States…
A twist on Cag’s old saying… Higher and Higher Prices, Lower and Lower Mintages, More and More Gimmicks, Less and Less Demand PS Cag what was the “original” way you use to phrase that back in the day, circa 2016?-2018???
“Higher and Higher Prices, Lower and Lower Mintages, More and More Gimmicks, Less and Less Demand”
As long as the coin collecting hobby is not killed outright, this is not necessarily a bad thing. Many valuable, highly sought-after coins were once high-priced, low-mintage, low-demand gimmicks.
CaliSkier, The following is the First time I used the phrase: June 7, 2017 at 9:47 pm For those looking for More and More Low Mintage Wonders… …You’re going to get what you want… For those wanting the US Mint to be More and More like the other world mints… …You’re going to get what you want… The mint has Finally run out of options… Demographics don’t lie… This will be more the norm going forward… Lower and Lower mintages and Higher and Higher premiums… I wouldn’t be surprised to see a new Gold pricing matrix and Higher prices for… Read more »

Just a quick question I don’t know anything about quarters or coins. The price of a 1776
-1976 quarter without the S on it?
I just collect what I like/want, and that is proof and mint sets, and don’t worry about price. It’s a hobby to me, so there is little to no chance of me selling them.
Kaiser, that’s what make the hobby fun and interesting. As long as there is someone(s) in the family that you can leave your collection to (I have a couple of nephews that are into coins) then one has no worries that a non-interested relative will get what you had and not have a clue what to do with it.
PS Kaiser: I was stationed in Kaiserslautern from 8/66 to 1/69 and loved it. BBK was the local brew.
What a great city Heidelberg was/is, never bombed during WW2. Drove my ’59 Opel there a few times, plus took it all over Europe, north to Sweden, south to Italy, on the boat to England, and even drove through East Germany to my favorite city, Berlin. Been behind the wall, and even stepped into Checkpoint Charlie, the real one.

Collecting coins. Drinking beer. They have something in common. They’re both enjoyable. 🙂

For any one wishing to take a peek,… Read more »
Ohhhhhh
Nice!
As an old fashion hobbyist i still collect coins out of circulation now for the most part. I no longer order the proof, proof silver or unc sets… i no longer subscribe to the ASE coins either. Currently subscribed
to the new Morgans and Peace only, tho im contemplating cutting that back to just the reverse proof set as a yearly treat. As i retired 7 years ago justifying the annual cost vs value of unc and proof sets became impossible. Hoping the 250th coins next year will draw be back more….we shall see.
The 2023 proof set was the lowest mintage since 1954. Proof set prices since 1968 have been fairly stable on an inflation adjusted basis. Adjusting for inflation, $5 in 1968 is $40 today. Proof set prices in the 1980s ranged from 11 to 12.50, again about 40 today, with fewer coins, no dollar and only one quarter. Mintages have plunged nearly 90%, from 3 million from 1968 to 1985 to 300 some thousand.
And the 1968 is still a $5 item….
Gold is Not reacting positively to the weaker dollar…
Very short term perspective. I’d give it some more time. There’s a lot going on and the dollar is not the only mover of gold (as you’ve mentioned previously when the dollar and gold were moving in tandem.)
