Chicago, IL – Numismatists and coin collectors are buzzing over a recently surfaced 1976 Proof Set now available through ASN BELLEVUE LLC, a leading provider of rare and collectible coins located in the heart of Chicago. This isn't just any coin set; it's a tangible piece of American history, meticulously crafted and representing a unique moment in time – the Bicentennial year. ASN BELLEVUE LLC, operating out of Two North Riverside Plaza, Suite 400, has quickly established itself as a trusted source for high-quality coins. “We're all about bringing amazing pieces of numismatic history to collectors, whether they're seasoned pros or just starting out,” explains a representative from the company. “We focus on quality and authenticity, and this 1976 Proof Set really exemplifies that.” You can reach them at 972-333-8741 if you have any questions. What’s the Big Deal About a 1976 Proof Set? For those unfamiliar, a "Proof Set" isn’t your everyday pocket change. These coins are specially manufactured, going through a rigorous process to achieve a mirror-like finish and sharply defined details. They aren’t intended for circulation. They're made for collectors, and the 1976 set is particularly special due to the Bicentennial designs. The 1976 Bicentennial Proof Set commemorates the 200th anniversary of the United States. What makes it extra cool? Every coin in the set – the penny, nickel, dime, quarter, half dollar, and dollar – features a reverse design honoring the nation's founding. Penny: Instead of Lincoln Memorial, you get a depiction of Independence Hall. Nickel: Forget Monticello. This nickel boasts a representation of Independence Hall. Dime: The Torch of Liberty replaces Roosevelt's polio portrait. Quarter: The Liberty Bell takes center stage, a powerful symbol of freedom. Half Dollar: The original Old State House in Philadelphia is showcased. Dollar: The Liberty Bell in its original location is depicted, creating a unique and patriotic image. “These aren’t just coins; they're snapshots of a national celebration,” explains the ASN BELLEVUE LLC representative. "The designs are striking, and the proof finish really makes them pop. They really feel special.” Why This Set is a Must-Have for Collectors Beyond the patriotic designs, several factors make this 1976 Proof Set particularly desirable: Rarity: While a large number of these sets were initially produced (over 7 million), well-preserved sets are becoming increasingly harder to find. Years of improper storage or handling can diminish their condition and value. Condition: ASN BELLEVUE LLC is offering sets that have been carefully inspected to ensure they’re in exceptional condition. "We’re really picky," the representative admits. “We want to make sure our customers are getting a set that looks like it just left the mint.” Investment Potential: Collectible coins can be a solid investment, and the 1976 Bicentennial Proof Set has consistently held its value. As fewer sets remain in pristine condition, the value is expected to continue to appreciate. Historical Significance: Owning this set isn't just about collecting coins; it's about owning a piece of American history. It’s a reminder of the nation’s founding principles and the celebration of its 200th anniversary. What to Look for in a Quality 1976 Proof Set Not all 1976 Proof Sets are created equal. When considering a purchase, ASN BELLEVUE LLC recommends looking for the following: Original Government Packaging: The set should come in its original U.S. Mint packaging, including the protective plastic holder and outer cardboard box. This packaging helps preserve the coins and adds to their collectibility. Deep Mirror-Like Finish: The coins should have a brilliant, reflective surface with minimal imperfections. This "mirror finish" is a hallmark of proof coins. Sharp Details: The designs should be crisp and well-defined, with no blurring or wear. Absence of Marks or Scratches: The coins should be free of any noticeable scratches, fingerprints, or other blemishes. Properly Sealed Packaging: The plastic holder should be tightly sealed to protect the coins from environmental damage.
