1887 Proof Set with Gold

The 1887 Proof Set continued with the appearance it had since 1883 when the Liberty or "V" nickel was introduced. An Indian Cent, a Liberty Nickel, three Seated Liberty Silver coins and a Morgan Dollar. Just over 800 silver coins were made, with over 4500 cents and nickels struck, making this set of one of the more available of the period. The gold this year is unusually expensive, as no business strike Half Eagles or Double Eagles were made. As a consequence, despite reasonably healthy mintages for gold proofs, the values for these is roughly double that of the years when non-proofs were also made.
