I don&#039;t invest in coins, sell coins or speculate on the coin market.</p><p><br /></p><p>You asked if all proof coins are the same grade. Not really. A proof coin can be anything from nearly perfect to heavily circulated. Even ones fresh from the Mint, can be damadged or just plain ugly.</p><p><br /></p><p>I realize that people collect different things for different reasons, but I&#039;ve always felt like that if I liked the way my coins looked, and I was happy with them, then why would I want to pay someone to tell me what they think of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 11 point grading system, thats used for uncirculated Mint State and Proof coins, is a marketing tool. It doesn&#039;t have anything to do with the way I collect.</p><p><br /></p><p>(Your milage may vary)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
