<p>[QUOTE="Alan Nakamura, post: 3869373, member: 105993"]Still sad that the coin "collecting" community still has not revolted against coin shops only paying bullion prices for gold proofs and higher graded gold and silver coins. What a disappointment. I was online a few months ago arguing this point, and no one was on my side. Don't care, you can lay down like dogs and take what is given to you or you can stand up. So sad to see no one standing up for this. I am still standing up for gold and silver proofs and higher graded coins, even though I seem to be the only one. All the coin"experts" that I received responses from all belittled me. However, they seen to have forgotten that proofs have been a part of collecting pretty much since coins where made. That includes gold and silver. Yes, the coins were made for circulation back then, however, there were still proof sets made, and those sets commanded a premium, and still do. When are we going to say enough is enough to the coin shops? if the coin collecting community does not want proofs of higher quality, gold or silver, then why have they not told the government about this, so they will no longer make these coins? Work with me people, work with me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
