<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 2152857, member: 4920&quot;]Gosh, that&#039;s nonsense, really. Honestly, just the silver proofs, we must have over 100 by now. We got probably 2/3rds of those in one monster $1000 bank bag. Those are where the scores are.</p><p><br /></p><p>People don&#039;t collect proof sets for one very good reason everybody overlooks, over and over, time and again, and that&#039;s, they&#039;re &quot;made-to-order&quot; collectibles. Who wants that? Well, I&#039;ll tell you, the people who are accustomed to made-to-order grades, that&#039;s who. The collectors, these days. But they&#039;re the only ones.</p><p><br /></p><p>And on the quality. When we get them, they&#039;re typically a counting machine and bank bag or two away from how those collectors get them. The kids cash them off in the banks, they get counted, bagged, sent off, recounted, then boxed. They go through counting machines and bags at the Mint, too. By the time we get them, they just went through a few extra. What do you think, there&#039;s a guy standing at the end of the coin press, picking them off, one-by-one, then sealing them in the capsules? Lol.</p><p><br /></p><p>Collect what you will. I know I have a different viewpoint, but I&#039;m not denigrating you. If it turns you on, more power to you. I don&#039;t need to denigrate others to justify my collecting habits, and you shouldn&#039;t do that, either. Tell us why you collect the way you do, tell us why our way is wrong, that&#039;s all fair game. Knock heads with us is fine. Hell, sometimes you knock sense into people&#039;s heads, that way. You certainly don&#039;t do it by backing down and agreeing when you don&#039;t agree. You make friends by backing down and agreeing when you don&#039;t agree. What&#039;s this, a social club? But you get my point.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
