<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EvilKidsMeal, post: 1132378, member: 28937&quot;]They are two seperate things. Everything could be exactly the same; date, numerical grade, etc. but one is a proof. A completely different type of coin. Generally proofs will go for higher prices. BTW proof mintings are significantly less because they do not have to fill a demand for circulation, which also adds to the value.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Example: 2007D Montana State Quarter </p><p>Circulation minting=256,240,000 </p><p>Proof minting (non-silver)=2,002,812. </p><p>MS65 value= roughly up to $0.60 </p><p>PF65 value= roughly up to $4.00 </p><p>(I say roughly because those values are from the current Redbook, in which prices are generally inflated.)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So as you can see, there is a huge difference in minting amounts which inherently affects value to an extent.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Proofs are collector pieces. They are made to be the best possible example of a coin, so with that you can expect higher prices.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
