While perhaps a departure from our name suggesting renewable energy, AXIS SOLAR isn’t just about the future; we also appreciate and preserve pieces of the past, offering collectors opportunities to own tangible history. This isn’t your typical energy company move, but it’s a reflection of our commitment to quality and value – the same principles we apply to everything we do. AXIS SOLAR LLC, located at 2801 Via Fortuna, Suite 520, Austin, TX, 78746-7910, and reachable at 864-947-3367, built its reputation on sourcing and offering exceptional items. While we’re known for innovative solutions, we also have a passion for timeless treasures. We believe in offering our customers things they can truly appreciate – both for their intrinsic value and as potential investments. This 1982 Proof Set is a perfect example. What’s the Big Deal with a Proof Set? For those unfamiliar, a Proof Set isn't just a bunch of coins thrown together. These are special coins. The U.S. Mint makes Proof coins using a meticulous process. Imagine highly polished planchets (the metal discs that become coins) struck multiple times by specially maintained dies. This creates a mirror-like finish and incredibly sharp details. They aren’t meant for everyday circulation; they’re collector’s items from the get-go. The 1982 Proof Set specifically includes all five standard circulating coins – the penny, nickel, dime, quarter, and half dollar – each struck to proof standards. And there's a little twist with the 1982 penny – more on that in a bit! Why 1982? What Makes This Set Special? 1982 was a bit of a unique year for U.S. coinage. The composition of the penny changed during the year. Initially, pennies were still made of 95% copper and 5% zinc. But due to rising copper prices, the Mint switched to a composition of 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper, plating it with copper. This means the 1982 Proof Set contains both versions of the penny - the 95% copper and the zinc-core plated version. It’s a fascinating detail for numismatists (coin collectors) and adds a layer of intrigue to the set. You're essentially getting two different pennies within the same set! What’s Included in the AXIS SOLAR 1982 Proof Set? Each set we offer includes all five coins, meticulously preserved in the original U.S. Mint packaging. Expect: Lincoln Cent: Both the 95% copper and zinc-core plated versions. A key identifier for collectors! Jefferson Nickel: A beautifully struck nickel with a brilliant shine. Roosevelt Dime: Exhibiting sharp details and a mirror-like finish. Washington Quarter: Another coin showcasing the exceptional quality of the proof striking process. Kennedy Half Dollar: The largest denomination in the set, displaying stunning detail. The set is housed in a protective U.S. Mint presentation case, designed to keep the coins safe and display them attractively. Beyond Collecting: The Appeal of Proof Sets Proof sets aren't just for serious collectors. They’re a fantastic way to: Connect with History: Hold a piece of American history in your hands. These coins were made during a specific time and reflect the artistic and economic conditions of the era. Appreciate Craftsmanship: The proof striking process is a testament to the skill and artistry of the U.S. Mint. Start a Collection: A proof set is a great entry point into the world of numismatics. Give a Unique Gift: A proof set makes a thoughtful and memorable gift for birthdays, holidays, or any special occasion.
