The 1978 US Mint Proof Set was the final year that the set included the Eisenhower Dollar, which was the last full-sized Dollar the US Mint produced. The Mint did sell 3,127,781 of the 1978 Proof Sets, just slightly down from 1977 Proof Set sales. The 1978 set is still a 6 coin set, and nearly all of the coins will have deep cameo finishes. Some of the 1978 Proof coins even received perfect grades of PR70 or PF70 from PCGS or NGC. This set was made by the US Mint in San Francisco. Currently, Silver.com has these 1978 US Mint Proof Sets available for purchase.

Coin Highlights:

  • Ships in a protective hard plastic case!
  • Set consists of six 1978 coins from the US Mint!
  • Each coin bears its respective face value in US dollars.
  • Each denomination has its own obverse and reverse design.
  • Total of 3,127,781 proof sets issued in 1978.
  • Proof specimens.
  • Please note – some sets may be missing the outer envelope/sleeve/box.

Each coin in the set is placed in an individually sealed ring and positioned on a red felt-covered paper insert. The insert is sealed in a two-piece clear plastic case. This plastic case is then inserted into a black plastic frame which can be opened and used as a stand to display the coins. The beauty of the coins is very visible against the red background. This is the same packaging that has been used for Proof Sets since 1973.

Each Proof Set contains one each of the Lincoln Cent, Jefferson Nickel, Roosevelt Dime, Washington Quarter, Kennedy Half Dollar, and Eisenhower Dollar. This was the last year of the Eisenhower Dollar.

The Lincoln Cent obverse features the right-facing profile of Abraham Lincoln designed by sculptor Victor David Brenner. Brenner was retained by the US Mint in January 1909 to design a cent depicting the late President. It became the first widely circulated design of a US President on a coin, and is still the obverse of the Lincoln Cent today.

The Lincoln Cent reverse features the Lincoln Memorial designed by Frank Gasparro. The Mint decided to have an internal competition among the Mint’s engravers to come up with the next reverse design. In spite of the fact that Gasparro had never seen the Lincoln Memorial in person, then-Secretary of the Treasury Robert Anderson felt Gasparro’s design was an impressive image of the Memorial.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

How can I contact you?

Please feel welcome to call us toll free at 1(888) 989-7223 or use our Live Chat feature during normal business hours Monday through Friday, 08:00 a.m. to 06:00 p.m. CST. Alternatively, you can email us at help@silver.com and expect a response within 1 business day.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
