<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rower41, post: 1538944, member: 36826&quot;]I recently re entered the hobby @ age 50, after a 35 year hiatus, and am concentrating primarily on proofs in addition to business strikes of key dates. I collected business strikes as a kid and couldn&#039;t afford proofs (Dad accumulated a few) so now I&#039;m concentrating on the &quot;coiner&#039;s cavier&quot; that was previously out of reach. I like the extremely limited mintage of early ones (in the ~100&#039;s/1000&#039;s vs millions of circ pieces), it&#039;s easier to assemble collections as I don&#039;t have a lifetime to work on it. Dad always said go for the best you can afford so I shoot for quality vs quantity, and have assembled a LOT of books re proofs and they do have a significant history. I&#039;m just completing proof release collections of ALL contemporary denominations (Lincoln cents through Pres. Dollars) and then work back in time for each denomination. Last payday acquisition was a PF64 1936 Liberty Walking Half and have the remaining Walkers on the want-list at the LCS (in stock). I&#039;m eying a superb Morgan Dollar proof as well as Shield Nickels at the LCS too...if someone doesn&#039;t purchase them first.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
