How much more do proof coins worth than their normal versions?

Same year same mint mark same condition what percantage is it worth more

Whatever extra someone will pay. Often worth less, so I guess the answer is somewhere between 50% and 1000%.

 

Frequently NOT worth more. Proofs aren't "better", they're just "different".

 

The difference comes with how old the proof is, demand is also a factor.

 

Your assumption that proofs are worth more than business strikes of the same coin is incorrect. There is no general correlation that can be made between value as you are attempting to do. They are different coins, and so their values are independently based on supply and demand.

 

Do you really think that a PF69 would be worth more than an MS69 business strike?

In the case of a lot of older coins (19th century) the MS coins are worth more than the proof coins.

 

depends who you sell it to, type of coins, condition comparison, etc.

For instance, on a silver ASE regular and proof versions, if you sell it to a dealer they'll try to get, say, spot price for that regular strike and the proof strike. If you sell to a private buyer, you should hopefully get more for that proof.

 

Not all that more on the modern stuff.

 

There can be a massive difference on the modern stuff. If you're thinking of ASEs its about the same, but for circulating coins it's a different story. Kennedys for instance for the clad ones are 4 figure coins and some are five figures in MS 68 excluding the Satins. An 80-D MS 68 sold for 5k as one example and it was only two years ago. The majority of dates don't have a 69 and they would be big money coins with the first.

 

Agreed, not a hard and fast rule, I was more referring to not only ASE's but commemoratives also and anything you get direct from the mint these days does have a more narrow range and is skewed to the upper grades. Your point is well taken. Then again, grading bullion is, well.

 

Really all the silver and gold there's usually not much if any difference between the two versions as a 69. UI have nothing against ASE grading, people enjoy and it gets them excited so to me that's a good thing. ASEs are really the modern Morgans. Will be interesting to see what difference there may be with the palladium next year though

 

When was the last time that the Mint issued an SAE business strike or a commemorative business strike?

Chris

 

I would routinely sell 2000-2008 P or D Sacagawea dollars graded MS68 for $150.

Good luck getting any sort of meaningful response, Doug; hopefully you'll have better luck that most of the others have had. Helping is, of course, a two-way street, and is something I fear the OP fails to understand.

 

4BC?
I guess I meant Bullion. The mint does issue some uncirculated, maybe I mistake that for business strike. If so, I make a mistake. Revel in it if you must.

 

This is an important distinction raised here. Some people seem to think that Uncirculated modern commemorative versions are "business strikes" and others, me included, do not. I don't know what to call them so what I'm referring to is unambiguously understood, but they need their own term, IMHO. Even harder to distinguish linguistically is the plain old ASE from the W mintmarked non-proof version.

 

Only children make fun of someone who doesn't understand. That is not my intent.

Never thought about it, but yes, it is ambiguous.

And what about BURNISHED bullion? It sounds like a pricey appetizer or soup.
