Silver proof dimes ended in 1964. Starting in 1968 the proofs were the same copper nickel clad composition as the business strikes. In 1992 the...
Definitely PMD.
Yes the token is a just a corroded Civil War Storecard. It is in no way a double denomination, nor is it dated 1883. I'm fairly sure this piece...

Cent looks like it could be a strike through, the nickel is a nice xample of a lamination error , and the dime looks like machine doubling....
That's because ALL of the 1978 proof coins have blob or "filled" S mintmarks. Sometimes the proofs are spent because the sets are given to a none...
And then sold them in 2000 or so. Back then they were up to the $300 a set range. Considering they really aren't any rarer than the other years...
