[QUOTE="cladking, post: 59017, member: 68"]Depending on date and denomination about 2% to 10% of proof singles are culls. If someone is cracking sets to sell rolls then the culls can not be included. While these still have some value, they can be difficult to sell and some people apparently will spend them in frustration. Also remember that these coins look like the current circulating coins. Some just fall into the wrong place and get spent. Many of the proofs I've seen in circulation had tarnish or other flaws which appeared to have occurred before circulation. I once found a proof '68 quarter which had been worn down to VG.[/QUOTE]
