Silver Proof Set 2023

The 2023 United States Mint Silver Proof Set showcases 10 stunning proof coins, beautifully encased in two clear plastic lenses and presented in an attractive package that you’ll be proud to display. Each half dollar, quarter, and dime is struck in 99.9% fine silver.

This set includes all five coins from the 2023 American Women Quarters™ Program, packaged together in a single protective lens to highlight their exceptional proof finish. The American Women Quarters Program is a four-year initiative that celebrates the accomplishments and contributions of women who have shaped our nation’s history, continuing from 2022 through 2025 with five new quarters each year featuring reverse designs honoring notable American women.

The reverse designs honor a diverse group of women who made significant impacts across various fields, including suffrage, civil rights, abolition, government, humanities, science, space, and the arts. These women represent a rich tapestry of ethnic, racial, and geographical backgrounds.

Each coin features a common obverse design depicting a portrait of George Washington, originally sculpted by Laura Gardin Fraser as part of the 1932 quarter celebrating the bicentennial of Washington’s birth. Inscriptions include “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “2023.”
