<p>[QUOTE=&quot;troublesbrewin, post: 533604, member: 16993&quot;]The proofs have always been handled very carefully by the mint and sold directly to collectors in their airtight holders.&nbsp; This has not always been the case with the uncirculated MS bullion coins. The mint doesn&#039;t handle the MS nearly as carefully - with the exception of the few sold direct to collecters and the West Point MS coins. The majority of the bullion MS coins are only sold to dealers who purchase 10,000 or more for resale purposes, those coins are sold by the roll and many are from later strikes and these coins have bag marks and other blemishes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
