What is the difference between a 1961 proof set and a 1961 special mint set?

Special mint sets were produced in 1965, 1966 and 1967. You are probably refering to the uncirculated mint set produced by the mint as a collector set for most years since 1947. The difference between a proof set and a mint set is this; the proof coin is struck with specially prepared dies that are polished and free from nicks and scratches. This gives the coin a mirror like appearance. Coins in a mint set are just everyday coins struck for circulation but are packaged for sale to collectors as examples of the coins minted that year. In 1961 they minted a proof set which consisted of a 5 coin proof set and and a mint set which consisted of two 5 coin uncirculated sets with one from the denver mint and one from the philadelphia mint.
