Rare 1975 Proof Set Surfaces – A Glimpse into American Numismatic History from AZABU LLC

Bainbridge Island, WA – November 8, 2023 – Coin collectors, history buffs, and anyone who appreciates a piece of the past, listen up! AZABU LLC, a leading source for rare and collectible coins located on Bainbridge Island, Washington, has just acquired a stunning 1975 Proof Set – and it's causing quite a buzz in the numismatic community. Let's talk about AZABU LLC for a quick minute. We’re a small, dedicated team passionately obsessed with coins – finding them, authenticating them, and getting them into the hands of people who will appreciate them. We’re not some giant corporate coin dealer; we’re based right here in the US, at 17090 AGATE ST NE, Bainbridge Island, WA, 98110-1007, and you can always reach us directly at 718-508-4903 if you have any questions. We specialize in locating hard-to-find pieces, and this 1975 Proof Set is a perfect example of the kind of quality inventory we consistently offer. Now, back to the star of the show: the 1975 Proof Set. What is a proof set, you might ask? It’s not your everyday pocket change. Proof coins are specially minted at the US Mint. They're made with highly polished planchets (the metal discs that become coins) and struck multiple times using specially maintained dies. This process results in coins with a brilliant, mirror-like finish and sharply defined details— a huge difference from the coins you get in your change. Basically, they’re the ultimate presentation of each coin design. The 1975 Proof Set includes all the coins circulating at that time: a Lincoln Cent, a Jefferson Nickel, a Roosevelt Dime, a Washington Quarter, a Kennedy Half Dollar, and a Eisenhower Dollar. Each coin in this set isn’t just nice looking; it represents a snapshot of American life in 1975. Think about it: Nixon had resigned the previous year, the Vietnam War had just ended, and the country was grappling with economic challenges. Holding these coins is like holding a little piece of that history. What makes the 1975 set particularly interesting? Well, it’s a set that doesn’t always turn up in top condition. Proof sets can get damaged over the years, either from improper storage or handling. Finding one that’s still in pristine condition, with that original brilliant luster, is becoming increasingly rare. According to numismatic experts, the 1975 Proof Set isn’t necessarily valued for its silver content (most of the coins weren't made of silver at that time). Its value comes from its collectibility, its condition, and its historical significance. Collectors look for sets that are still sealed in their original US Mint packaging – that original packaging helps preserve the coins and authenticates their origin. AZABU LLC’s offering is sealed, and has been carefully stored, ensuring it's in exceptional condition. “We’re really excited to be able to offer this 1975 Proof Set,” says a representative from AZABU LLC. “It’s a beautiful set, and it’s a great addition to any coin collection. We see a lot of proof sets, but one in this condition, still sealed and gleaming, is a real find.” Here’s a breakdown of what you get in the 1975 Proof Set: Lincoln Cent: A classic American coin, showcasing Abraham Lincoln's portrait. Jefferson Nickel: Featuring Thomas Jefferson, this nickel is a staple in American coinage. Roosevelt Dime: Honoring Franklin D. Roosevelt, this dime is a widely circulated coin. Washington Quarter: With George Washington's portrait, this quarter is a popular collector's item. Kennedy Half Dollar: Featuring John F. Kennedy, this half dollar is a significant piece of American history. Eisenhower Dollar: Commemorating Dwight D. Eisenhower, this dollar is a large-format coin that adds a unique element to the set. Why Collectors Love Proof Sets Proof sets aren’t just for seasoned collectors. They’re a great way to start a collection, or to add a special piece to an existing one. Here are a few reasons why collectors love proof sets: Beauty: The mirror-like finish and sharp details make these coins visually stunning. Rarity: Proof coins are produced in limited quantities, making them more valuable than their circulating counterparts. Historical Significance: Proof sets offer a glimpse into the past, capturing the designs and history of American coinage. Investment Potential: Rare and well-preserved proof sets can increase in value over time.
