<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 112245, member: 112&quot;]I own the same book you mention Marianne, only mine is the 1998 edition. The mintage for that coin was 100,000. Value listed in the Netherlands book is 2,500 ( not sure what the currency was then ) for FDC. In Krause 2004 edition it is valued as $1,250 for BU and $3,000 for Proof. There is no mintage listed in either book for the Proofs.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now there is quite a difference between FDC and Proof, not price wise so much but the method of manufacture. So I wonder if the coin really is a Proof. One of the grades used in Dutch is Pr. - but it stands for Prachtig, not Proof. So is it possible your father made a mistake and misinterpretted this abreviation ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Proof examples certainly exist, and the coin may well be one. But given what I have explained above - I wonder. But if you can post a pic - we might just be able to tell if it&#039;s a Proof or not <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
