What is the value of a 1995 mint proof set?

To begin with, there are Mint sets and Proof sets, and they're 2 different things. You'll need to check your set to determine which kind you have. Mint sets are sets of uncirculated coins selected from normal strikes. These retail for about $15 to $20. Proof sets are specially-struck coins that have mirrorlike surfaces and matte-finish images. 1995 proof sets sell at a fairly decent premium - cupronickel sets retail for $35 to $45, and silver sets are in the $80 to $90 range.

What is the value of the 1994 mint proof set?

There are mint sets and there are proof sets, and they're not the same. Mint sets are ordinary-strike coins, selected for quality, and packaged at the mint so they're uncirculated and untarnished. Proof coins are specially struck on prepared blanks that give them a mirrorlike surface. They're minted separately from ordinary strikes and are intended only for proof sets. Please post a new question identifying which type of set you have so it can be valued. Thanks!

What is proof issue?

Coins that are "proof" quality coins are more valuable than other minted coins. The reason seems to be that the blanks used are stamped into coins in a special way, and then I believe they are stamped again! If you buy any U.S. Mint Proof coins, you will pay a higher price than if you buy U.S. Mint Uncirculated coins. You will pay much more if you buy a U.S. Mint Proof Silver coin set! The price of silver has been going up, and I wish I could buy a lot more silver proof sets! Those mint sets will hold their value for a long time! Don't be shy about buying mint sets from the U.S. Mint. They are pretty reasonably priced, and they will definitely be brand new sets! You may find mint sets on sale a bit cheaper at other web sites, such as eBay.
