<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Black Friar, post: 7779729, member: 76221&quot;]Many thanks to &quot;Gam3rBlake&quot; in starting this thread. He asked a question that some might be afraid to ask. Proof coins are a more modern invention that evolved into a numismatic process that we possibly take for granted.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The early medallions were a medium for marking a special person or event. The images and comments in answer to Gam&#039;s question are what this site is about. When I was a young lad in the mid-50&#039;s and just starting to collect I had heard about proof coins but had never seen one. I can remember getting a war nick with the letter &quot;P&quot; above Monticello. I was so excited, I just knew that it must be a proof.&nbsp; Off I went to my journey through numismatics.&nbsp; Thanks to so many I have made contact with on that circuitous exploration. </p><p><br /></p><p>Lets keep on travelling.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
