The 1963 Proof Set's Half Dollar (1963 is the last year featuring Benjamin Franklin), Quarter Dollar and Dime consisted of 90% silver and 10% copper. The five cent coin (nickel) was made of 75% copper and 25% nickel, and the cent was 95% copper and 5% zinc.

Two pieces of cardboard formed a sandwich around the flat coin set, and the US Mint included their precautionary note to collectors which read. Proof Coins have been carefully inspected, and then sealed in a transparent envelope. This package was designed to prevent or delay tarnishing and discoloration.

Nevertheless, sooner or later tarnishing may occur. Please do not ask us to make exchanges or adjustments. If there should appear - what may seem to you - a defect or scratch on a coin - it is, no doubt, a crease in the packaging material. We tell you this to save us both unnecessary correspondence.
