<p>[QUOTE=&quot;elgeedublu, post: 2005662, member: 72086&quot;]Hi, I used to collect U.S. coins, and am now considering a return to them, particularly gold.&nbsp; One topic that I always wondered about, but never really had a chance to ask anyone about 20 years ago, was the relative frequency of prooflikes in the Liberty $20 series.&nbsp; So, now that we have forums and Coin Talk, may I ask collectors of this series--what would you say is a &quot;typical&quot; percentage (if there is such a thing) of prooflike uncirculated Libertys for relatively common dates?&nbsp; 5%?&nbsp; 10%?&nbsp; Higher?&nbsp; Does the percentage vary widely by mint?&nbsp; Are there many specialist collectors of these prooflike coins?&nbsp; I haven&#039;t really seen much literature on them--is there any?&nbsp; I used to own a prooflike 1899-S that really had a deep cameo contrast between Liberty and the fields, which I thought was very unusual at the time, but again, this was 20 years ago, and I had far fewer examples available for comparison.&nbsp; Anyway, I&#039;d like to hear any thoughts on this topic from gold collectors....thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
