The 2009 Silver Proof Set (SV0) from the United States Mint became available Friday, July 17th 2009. The silver proof set features the following 18 coins:

• 6 Quarters (honoring the District of Columbia and the five U.S. territories: Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands)
  
  

• 4 Presidential $1 Coins (honoring past Presidents of the United States: William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, James K. Polk and Zachary Taylor)
  
  

• 4 Lincoln Bicentennial One Cent Coins** (recognizing the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln’s birth)
  
  

• 1 Native American $1 Coin
  
  

• 1 Jefferson nickel
  
  

• 1 Roosevelt dime
  
  

• 1 Kennedy half-dollar

Similarities between the 2009 Silver and Clad Proof set from the US Mint include that each of the 18 coins have the "S" mint mark.  What separates the Silver from the Clad is that the dime, half-dollar and six quarters are struck with 90% silver and the Lincoln Cents contain 95% copper, 3% zinc and 2% tin that matches the the original 1909 penny.
