There are a couple of low grade proofs up there now. Stuff like PF-61 RBs and things like that. You can pick some of those up for under $200
Here's one specifically that I was looking at but done have the funds to buy right now. Item number 221615936205
I have the same attitude, except that I don't buy coins for profit. My collection has everything from PF 70 coins to well circulated coins that would grade at a 1. I have cleaned coins, dirty coins, coins with patina and BU coins. I might have one or two that would grade at MS 66 or better. They're all a part of my collection and they all mean something to me.
im think about this depending on where it ends up Ireland 1930 Silver Shilling NGC XF-45 http://www.greatcollections.com/Coin/181542/Ireland-1930-Silver-Shilling-NGC-XF-45
What I meant by "for profit" was this, sometimes I will be at a coin show and a dealer will approach me and say "hey, I have a (just an example) 3legged in a PCGS MS63, I'll let it go right now for $250 below bid ("bid" being the lower of the 2 numbers on the grey sheets) if you have the cash handy"....and I will usually buy it, with no intent of keeping it ever, and immediately flip it at that show, or toss it up on ebay as long as the BIN minus fees will net a profit.
I will have to go through it but I don't think so I did take a look at the edges of the coin & it did not look promising !
I bought this from the mint at the FUN show and had NGC grade it and ship to my house. I was happy to get the 70. I had it graded as a souvenir from the show.
That is just a cool & fun label & what a score with it being a 70. I am just getting started on my PROOF & REVERSE PROOF silver eagle's & I want them all .
