A 1955 US Mint set contained 22 coins. It had 2 coins from each Mint that produced coins for circulation. All US Mint sets from 1947 through 1958 are double sets.
I'm guessing you have some sort of set that was sold as "special collectible coins" with that title. The San Francisco Mint only produced dimes and cents in 1955 and none of them are particularly rare. If the coins are uncirculated, as of 08/2014 the dime might retail for as little as $3.50 or as much as $55.00 depending on quality, while the cent would be anywhere from 35¢ to $7.00. Both ranges are actually less than prices for comparable 1955 coins from the Denver Mint.
The set should have coins from the Denver mint & the Philadelphia mint. 5 from each mint
9 coins: $4708 coins: $170

A 1961 proof set contains proof coins, which are specially made with extra care and polished dies to showcase the design details. These sets are typically sold to collectors. On the other hand, a 1961 special mint set contains uncirculated coins that were made with a higher standard than regular circulating coins but not as meticulously as proof coins. Special mint sets were produced by the United States Mint as an alternative to proof sets and were intended for general circulation.
You have to set up and account with the mint, it is very easy to do by phone or the web
