Proof coins
The U.S started minting proof coins as far back as the 1850s through very few were made. Philadelphia made the first proof sets and coins, but in 1968 it switched over to the San Fransisco mint. Some do not have a mintmark and can be very valuable. They started making sets in 1936 which was more than 85 years ago. As seen in one of the pictures, most sets have a certificate of Authenticity
(Shout out for Mike) Keep your coins in cases!

I would suggest a very thin, even coat of clear silicone around the original mint cases since these are not air tight. I've been doing so since the mid-eighties and all of them still look as the day I bought them.

That's a good idea! I think I'll do that to mine
