<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 2567800, member: 24633&quot;]The Mint didn&#039;t start putting the West Point mintmark (W) on the proof SAE until 2001. The uncirculated SAE didn&#039;t have a mintmark on it for any of his kids&#039; birth years (2000, 2001, 2003). In any case, I think the Proof SAE would be the best choice for the birth years because all the years of production (1986-to date) are readily available if your kids should decide to take up the hobby when they get older. (Note: The US Mint does not routinely have backorders for previous years.)</p><p>Personally, I would not spend the extra money for certified (slabbed) SAE&#039;s. Generic plastic cases for birth year coins are inexpensive and available online. </p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
