<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1865King, post: 7813019, member: 103207&quot;]The US Mint has made proof sets for special reasons back in the 1830&#039;s.&nbsp; This is why some of the 1804 dollars were made.&nbsp; I think it was the King of Siam set that was the first set made.&nbsp; Starting in 1858 proofs in sets were offered to the general public.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think they were complete sets.&nbsp; I think it was minor sets, silver sets and gold sets.&nbsp; I could be wrong but I think the first full sets for general sale began when Morgan dollars were made.&nbsp; You could still buy minor coins and I think silver sets or just the silver dollar.&nbsp; Don&#039;t hold me to being 100 percent correct because I&#039;m not 100 percent sure myself.&nbsp; I do know that the coins that weren&#039;t sold were either melted down or sometimes put in circulation.&nbsp; I would like to add that I have put together a complete proof set from 1865, excluding gold.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
