<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ACE Mike, post: 3113666, member: 26383&quot;]I have placed many dozens if not hundreds of Proof coins in circulation with the hope that people will notice them. In my regular day job I was a cashier so I would bring impaired Proofs (and other things like wheat cents) to work and mix them in the change when a parent was with kids. I would just make some comment like that is a funny looking quarter to make sure the parents looked at the change. Almost every time the funny quarter or old cent went to the kids.</p><p><br /></p><p>Using the 1968-S quarter as an example, I retail them for 55 cents on my website. That is only 30 cents above face value. So you can imagine that an impaired Proof has virtually no value above face value when a nice one is only 30 cents over. Same thing with say a super common 1945 circulated wheat cent. Better for me to just circulate them to try to get people looking at their change. As you have seen, other dealers do the exact same thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
