Let's see which Numismatist out there is "fastest on the draw".

Name the only U.S. Proof Set to bear three different dates of coins within the Proof Set and state the three dates of the coins in that proof set.

First one to answer correctly (with the proof set date I am thinking of), I'll send out a coin from that proof set (or, if the winner is OK with it, instead of mailing the winner a coin, I will give away two coins from that year proof set to the two different kids I run into this holiday weekend in town).

    We done MrScience! Send me a PM letting me know if you would like a coin from the set or whether you would like me to give away two coins from that year set instead. :)

    The 1999 proof set also has three dates (1787,1788,1999) and probably every other State Quarter proof set has at least three dates.

    Of course! I forgot that 1975 occurred during the classic coin era, 1792-1976.
