Which coins are silver in a 2016 Silver Proof Mint set purchased directly from the United States Mint? 
I assume that these are silver

Shawnee National Forest Quarter
Cumberland Gap National Historical Park Quarter
Harpers Ferry National Historical Park Quarter
Theodore Roosevelt National Park Quarter
Fort Moultrie (Fort Sumter National Monument) Quarter
Kennedy Half Dollar
Roosevelt Dime

I know the dollar coins are not really gold, and for sure the penny is not anything but copper. What % of silver are these coins? Are they worth selling for silver content?
I also have the certificate that came with them but I didnt take a photo of it.

Only these coins are 90% silver. Also correct they are just referred to as gold coins by public, the dollar $1 coins are not gold. While the silver content of the coins is something. At current prices the Silver quarters offer a melt value of $5.85 each. The half dollar is worth about $12 each, and the dime is a little over $2...the entire melt value based off silver is less than $40 while the set is selling on eBay for somewhere between $65 and $75 dollars. I mean I guess you could sell them for silver, but if you wanted to sell something the best idea would be to sell the set in its entirety. Thanks for posting!!
