<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 577184, member: 9474&quot;]Stupidcoinguy - funny thing was that this very topic came up at the coin show that I was at today.&nbsp; I walked by a table and noticed this customer debating on whether to buy the UNC or the Proof Franklin comm.&nbsp; So I stopped over to offer my advice.&nbsp; I told her why I liked the uncs and the dealer agreed.&nbsp; She understood what I was saying but she liked how the proofs looked and she ended up buying the proof.&nbsp; This is one of those examples where the proof coin was actually worth a few dollars more than the unc, but had a much higher mintage.&nbsp; He was going to charge more for the proof, but then I showed him where the proof was only a few dollars more so he offered both coins at the same price.&nbsp; I stayed after to discuss this topic with the dealer and we both agreed that if you had a choice of buying either a proof or unc, always go with the unc first because the chances are that it will maintain or gain in value over the proof.&nbsp; But as of lately, I am being proved wrong.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
