    Bought this a couple weeks back for $5 over spot at Apmex. It came "raw" but is really beautiful. I'd say it is probably a proof, if these came as proofs. I'm showing it along with the Silver Dollar and Clad Half set that I got when these were issued (I was 16).

    Really a great looking coin. I guess they made around half a million of them and sold them all at the time, leaving them not much above melt today.

    Yes they did make proofs, and that is a proof !!! Apmex is great for getting coins at great prices even slabbed coins !!

    Yep, they made a ton of them, hence the reasonable price. I think it's still an attractive set however and I have the dollar and half dollar set. I like them.

    I bought both the Proof and Unc. sets back in the day and got a nice cherry wood box to boot. The set looks splendid in the casing. :) Still gots 'em.......

    It's a proof and I think it is awfully attractive. The Olympic proof gold from 1988 is one of my favorite modern gold proofs, too.

    Honestly, I think I'd rather have that than a regular old 1/4oz AGE.

    Yup. That was literally the decision I made.
