The set is specifically noted as containing the "Small Date" variety of the Lincoln Cent.

Mint: Philadelphia Metal Content: 90% Silver (Half Dollar, Quarter, Dime), Copper-Nickel (Nickel), Copper (Cent) Historical Context: The 1960 US Proof Set is highly significant among collectors due to the two distinct varieties of the Lincoln Cent produced that year: the Large Date and the Small Date. The Small Date variety is much scarcer within proof sets, making this specific set highly desirable. This year also represents a classic era of US coinage featuring the Franklin Half Dollar before the transition to the Kennedy design in 1944.
