<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gronnh20, post: 3149607, member: 73224&quot;]Without any specific dates or denominations, a perusal of NGC census will show many modern coin years where Proof 70 outnumbers all lower grades.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t agree with only classic coins belong in plastic.&nbsp; As a collector I like collecting silver proof sets each year from the mint.&nbsp; But, I also like collecting modern Roosevelt silver proof dimes.&nbsp; I want them blast white and mint fresh.&nbsp; And I want them to stay that way.&nbsp; So I do prefer that part of my collection in graded plastic.&nbsp; Opposed, to buying a raw proof and putting it in an album or airtites.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is one other reason why I would buy modern proofs in slabbed format over OGP.&nbsp;&nbsp; I will only buy modern proof sets in OGP from the U.S. Mint.&nbsp; Every proof or proof type set in OGP, except two, that I bought on the aftermarket has been vandalized.&nbsp; As in someone has gone through the set and cherrypicked it first.&nbsp; In one set I bought, one of the coins had a big old thumb print.&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t even touch a silver proof set in OGP on the aftermarket.&nbsp; For folks like myself, that got into the game late, buying older proof sets from the mint is not an option.&nbsp; Nor is it viable to buy secondhand OGP in my experiences.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
