Do you mean Proof Coins in Sets or Singles (slabbed or un)

I really dig proofs... Especially the Cameo'ed ones...

They are Soooo, Beautiful...

I'm working on building a complete set of ""Proof Sets"" from as early as I can get to current.... I think my earliest is 1958 or 59... I'm also trying to build a "Mint Set" collection...


As far as Proof Singles I don't have many at all...

I think I have like 6 Jeffereson Nickels in NGC-PF69 and several Proof S.A.Es and Commems Unslabbed in Mint holders...

After I finish the Jeffersons, I think I'm going to build sets of IKEs, Kennedys, SBAs and SACs in PF69...

 

Any. Sorry I wasn't to specific. It can be proof sets. Proof singles. Anything. Do other countries make proof coins, or is US the only one? Just curious.

I'll try and post a few pics of my Proofs tonight if I get a chance...


To answeryour question about other Countriesminting Proofs; I know Canada does... They make Uncirculated Mint Sets too... I have a few of those I got off of Ebay...

Here is a page I found via google with Canadian Proof Sets.

Actually, they have Proofs from a few other mints too if you step back to their main page...

I've never bought from them and I'm not recomending them... Just using them to point out proofs from other countries....

This place has some Mexican proofs...

Actually, they have some really nice loooking Coins from all over...


Or atleast they know how to make the pics look good...

Check this out... These guys in Liberia have minted a 2000 Morgan Proof!!!!



I really like the Front... I wouldn't mind having one...

 

You gotta be kidding! The rest f the world is still using a hammer to make coins.

 

Here is one which there's no question about. Yes the scratch is on the jolder.



And another which has gotten mixed opinions on. I'm pleased with the PR50 which the dealer in town said it should grade. The reverse fields will reflect text from 3 inches and there are clash marks.

 

I opened my 2007 Krause 20th Century volume at random to check a small sample. Starting where I opened it, I found:

1. Haiti - Yes
2. Hejaz, now part of Saudi Arabia - No
3. Honduras - Yes
4. Hong Kong, now reverted to China - Yes
5. Hungary - Yes
6. Iceland - Yes
7. Various Indian Princely States - Some Yes, some No.
8. Portugese India - No
9. British India - Yes
10. India Republic - Yes

Are you starting to see a trend?

Proofs, particularly early 20th and late 19th century, are among my favoite coins. I'm trying to put together a basic type set in proof. Here are a few of them:











Have fun...Mike
