Even though they look proof-like and have special handling they are the bottom of the rung, similar to our bullion silver eagles that sell for a couple dollars above melt.

In person the coin is actually very nice but that doesn't carry over in photographs very well.</p><p>The year before they came up with a rough finish ( I forget the technical term for it) and I bought one even though I think it looks pretty much awful![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
