The 1989~S Congressional 7~Coin Prestige Proof Set
The 1989 Prestige Set is truly distinctive with two United States Congressional Coins - a Silver Dollar Proof and Half Dollar Proof. This set also includes five standard 1989 Proof Coins. These historic collectables were produced by the United States Mint and specially designed and created to commemorate the 200th Anniversary of the Congress of the United States.
All seven coins were struck in Proof condition at the San Francisco Mint. They have been produced using specially prepared dies and blanks to assure the highest quality, brilliant luster and magnificent detail, and they all bear the "S" mintmark. The set contains both regular coinage: the Lincoln cent, Jefferson nickel, Roosevelt dime, Washington quarter, Kennedy half dollar, and coins commemorating the Statue of Freedom: the commemorative silver dollar and clad half dollar. The coins are encapsulated in a clear plastic two-sided personal display album that permit the coins to be visible from both obverse and reverse sides.
The outside album cover is plush brown velvet and is embossed with a pewter design heraldic eagle emblem. The inside covers are white silk with the front inside cover being embossed in silver with a heraldic eagle and labeled United States Mint 1989 Prestige Set. A red, white and blue ribbon bisects the lower left corner of the front inside cover. The presentation case is protected by a brown cardboard box labeled United States Mint 1989 Prestige Set. This original packaging and the Certificates of Authenticity are all in mint pristine condition.
