<p>[QUOTE="Kirkuleez, post: 1947389, member: 36864"]All of the advice given is correct, I've been collecting early proofs for about twenty five years now and am just addicted. Sometimes I get a coin because it looks good in an image and the price is right. But because of this, I am usually left with dozens of coins from each series when I am finished. I recently completed a liberty nickel proof set and have thirty three spect over duplicates. I will use these as trades toward my next collection, but it would probably be smarter to have more patiently selected coins that I would continue to enjoy rather than buying one just to complete the set. Having said that, there are plenty of good looking PR-63 and PR-64s out there, so don't think that you need to go for high grades to have a coin with nice eye appeal. But a nice 65 or 66 cam would really make you smile I can't lie.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
