You can now add your mint and proof sets to the database. To do so from the Add My Coin link, choose the denomination as "proof" or "mint" and the type as "set."
Variation should only be used if the issuing mint offered more than one option. For example the US mint offers 5 different proof sets in 2008 depending on the number of coins and whether or not the coins are silver. In this situation, the 14 piece clad coin set should not have a variation.
It should also be noted that in 1965, 1966 and 1967 the United States Mint did not make a proof set or a mint set but instead made a special mint set with above standard quality but not quite proof. I've already added these as mint sets for the sake of simplicity.
Enjoy!
