Description: Proof Set production resumed in 1968, much to the delight of collectors around the nation. Sales zoomed to over 3,000,000 sets, and might have been higher if the Treasury had not hiked the price of the sets to $5.00. Proof Set production was shifted to San Francisco, and the "S" mintmark was added to Proof Coins for the very first time. The mintmark was moved to the front of the coin, an innovation that created additional demand for the sets. 1968 also saw the re-introduction of the "Proof-only" concept, where certain Proof coins were unavailable in a regular version (in 1968, this included the Proof-only 1968-S Dimes, Quarters and Half Dollars). Each set contained five coins: One example each of the Lincoln Cent, Jefferson Nickel, Roosevelt Dime, Washington Quarter, and Kennedy Half Dollar. Mintage: 3,041,506 sets
