<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 211315, member: 4626&quot;]The condition of a coin will probably have a lot more to do with its value then whether it&#039;s a proof or business strike.&nbsp; More modern (1982 or later) proofs are minted in fairly high numbers and handled in such a way that them being in high condition isn&#039;t especially unusual (most modern proofs tend to be about PF-67 or better it seems).&nbsp; Cameos are still highly desirable though, even amongst moderns.</p><p><br /></p><p>People love searching proofs sets for cameo proof Franklins... to the degree that the market is pretty flooded non-cameo proof Franklins, why they&#039;re relatively cheap.&nbsp; However a good looking coin will always have potential eventually... wouldn&#039;t hurt to have a few!&nbsp; Kennedys I think are somewhat ubderrated and probably have a good future ahead of them... though be a long time before they go up significantly in value (one day people will realize that nt many people are bothering to save them, same as will happen to clad Roosevelt dimes...)</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Pre-modern proofs in high condition are a really good investment.... they were made in much smaller numbers and were preserved in high condition in small numbers, so are always highly desirable.</p><p><br /></p><p>Scarcity relative to demand of a coin in high condition will always be the biggest contributer to its value, whether proof or business strike.&nbsp; Eye appeal will always be good for a coin&#039;s value too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
