This set features all five 2005 State Quarters with
proof finishes. United States Mint proof coins feature sharp relief and a
mirror-like background. Their sculpted, frosted foregrounds give them a
special cameo effect. Proof blanks are specially treated, polished, and
cleaned to ensure high-quality strikes. The blanks are then fed into
presses fitted with specially polished dies and struck at least twice to
ensure sharp relief. The coins are then packaged in a protective lens
to showcase and maintain their exceptional finish.
