1939 Proof Set Gone With the Wind

In 1939, John Steinbeck published The Grapes of Wrath. Nylon stockings made their appearance, only to be filled out nicely by Betty Grable a few years later. And, baseball legend Lou Gerhrig gave his I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth retirement speech. The U.S. Mint didn't make many more 1939 Proof sets than they did in 1938 - they struck just shy of 9,000. The set contains a Lincoln Cent, Jefferson Nickel, and a 90% silver Mercury Dime, Washington Quarter and Walking Liberty Half Dollar. Each of the five proofs in the set were sent out in an individual plastic sleeve. This set is well-protected in a hard plastic holder. Oh, and 1939 saw the release of Gone With the Wind - and that's what's likely to happen to this 1939 Proof set. Call now before it blows away!
