The three-coin 2015 March of Dimes Special Silver set, which includes two specially struck Roosevelt silver dimes, goes on sale by the United States Mint at noon Eastern Time May 4.

Offered at $61.95 per set, the product is limited to an issue of 75,000 sets. Adam Stump, deputy director of the U.S. Mint’s Office of Corporate Communications, said March 5 that the Mint would limit orders to five sets per household.

An example of the set was on display March 5 to 7 at the Mint’s booth at the American Numismatic Association National Money Show in Portland, affording collectors their first look at the two special dimes it contains.

The set contains a Proof 2015-W March of Dimes silver dollar, a Reverse Proof 2015-P Roosevelt silver dime and a standard Proof 2015-W Roosevelt silver dime.

The two silver dimes are available only in the three-coin set.

Both 2015-W coins are struck at the West Point Mint and the Reverse Proof 2015-P dime was produced at the Philadelphia Mint. All three coins are being struck in .900 fine silver.

This is the first Proof silver dime the U.S. Mint has produced from the West Point Mint and the first Reverse Proof silver dime from Philadelphia Mint. 

Standard Proof coins exhibit frosted devices against mirrored fields, while the Reverse Proof finish produces mirrored devices against a frosted field.

The set will be encased in a plush black clamshell case with silver trim and black cardboard outer box and sleeve, similar to packaging used for the United States Mint three-coin commemorative sets.

Single Proof 2015-W and Uncirculated 2015-P March of Dimes silver dollars go on sale at noon Eastern Time March 13.
