<p>[QUOTE="Darchangel, post: 1630025, member: 37158"]I LOVE proofs. Proof halves and dimes out of circulation so far are the only thing I've really started "albums" for. The pristine ones make my heart flutter, but I keep the badly worn ones too. Maybe I'll find nicer ones or perhaps purchase to upgrade. It's something about being able to see the sharp and crisp design elements and the mirror like field...sometimes it almost looks like waves of water - just gorgeous. I guess it also makes me take a step back and ponder about the road each coin traveled to end up in my little wallet. The thought that someone might not have understood the story of what went into making it special and having a bit of extra value...what caused that coin to be spent for actual FACE? Fascinating, indeed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
