[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3899955, member: 77814"]Can you provide specific examples of Proofs being less expensive then BU? There are certain releases where more Proofs (initial release demand was higher) were made compared to BU (less demand and less sold), and thus the BU value is higher. example: [ATTACH=full]1027890[/ATTACH] There are others where that is opposite such as AGEs where Proof is more than BU. [ATTACH=full]1027926[/ATTACH] There are many others where they are both valued to same as some spot price + general premium. example: [ATTACH=full]1027891[/ATTACH] Then you get into slabbed examples, then people who collect certain examples. If you are after strictly "stacking" then you want a specific manufactured coin (for instance you may only be looking at US MINT products, or also Canadian, etc). then you want the coin to be as close to spot as possible. The general $5 and $10 commems I think are in that category, and also 1oz AGE/APE/ASE.[/QUOTE]
