[QUOTE="pragmatic, post: 2779996, member: 88312"]I wanna ask coin fans, their deep interest in proof versions. they look beautiful, shiny and charming indeed. but there are some issues about proof coins that concern me: 1-It seems central banks and mint companies know how to get more money; more proof, more money. 2-What is the pleasure in having a coin trapped and imprisoned inside a plastic seal. The real pleasure I find in coins, is to grab it in my hand (even if sweaty lol) I wouldn't bother, as long as it quenches my desires :D besides, the more the coin is rusty, scratched, circulated, and what have ya, the more genuine it looks!! proof coins sound and look very artificial and it is just a means of ripping collectors off their pockets. 3-I have no money to buy proof coins :D well, even if i could afford proof, I would go for circulated coins, something that had been in the hands of Tom, Dick and Harry made a currency out of it, folks!:cigar:[/QUOTE]
