United States Proof Sets Proof sets have long been a favorite gift for collectors and non-collectors, too. These coin sets are made every year by the United States Mint. The dates on the coins will continue to serve as a special reminder of that very special occasion. To compliment the proof sets mentioned above, and to further add to the generosity of the gift, try a Custom Wood Plaque. These solid oak plaques allow the recipient to proudly display a personal photo beside the proof set.
Plaques can be wall mounted, or displayed on the optional brass stand.
When grouped together, these giant coin replicas make an attractive wall display in a den or office. A truly novel gift idea is an elongated cent. First introduced during the 1893 Colombian Exposition World's Fair in Chicago, these cents are genuine US coins that have been engraved with a specially designed rolling machine. If you're like the average American, you probably didn't know this because these coins are not released into general circulation. Either of these beautiful coins would make an excellent collectible gift or award of recognition for a new baby, a graduation, or any other honor received.
