<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 2234082, member: 15929&quot;]The typical &quot;non precious metal&quot; proofs of 1968 through 2015, have little if any marketable unless some tpg hangs a 70DCAM label on them. As such, they are usually deposited in the bank and can enter the circulation stream.</p><p><br /></p><p>The are called impaired proofs and some can get quite beat up. Regardless of condition, someone with a little knowledge can figure out whether or not its of the proof manufacturing process.</p><p><br /></p><p>I found a 1968-S Washington Quarter which looked completely circulated except for a couple of facts.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. The US Mint didn&#039;t make a 1968-S Washington Quarter</p><p>2. Proof surfaces could be seen in the protected areas next to the devices.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]439695[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]439696[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>One would never expect that this started out as a proof coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
