Remember the wholesale price on common date BU&#039;s is $2.50 and you don&#039;t have to pay very large premiums for choice examples.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Proof sets might be your best bet for proofs.&nbsp; They&#039;re giving these away now days and even the choicest coins can be had for the effort of smashing a screwdriver through the seams.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
