Prestige Proof Set Production Figures

Prestige Proof Sets got off to a slow start in 1983 with only a touch over 140 thousand sets selling. The following year was much better with over twice as many sets selling. The Mint took a pause in 1985 with no commemorative program but came back in 1986 with the best selling commemorative program of all time, the Statue of Liberty program. The result was the best year ever for Prestige Proof Set sales with nearly 600 thousand sets sold, each containing a Statute of Liberty Half Dollar and Dollar and accounting for nearly ten percent of the total production for those two coins.

The years that followed saw declining sales of Prestige Proof Sets until 1990 when the Eisenhower Commemorative Dollar program proved popular and pushed sales back over the half million mark for the only other time in the series history. 1991 sales were about half the 1990 sales and generally continued to decline until the end of the program. During the last two years, the Mint set maximum sales at 55,000 and 80,000 unit respectively and both sold out.
