[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 24140, member: 112"]legoman - The answer to your question is quite simple - the reason the sets you ask about are not labeled as silver Proof sets - is because at the time all dimes, quarters & halves, even the coins in circulation, were silver to begin with. It was only after the removal of silver from our coinage that the opportunity for the US Mint to offer a silver Proof set came to exist. And they did not do so until 1992.[/QUOTE]
