<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 156641, member: 4552"]Many coin dealers break out sets of proofs and sell them separately at coin shows. If you go to enough coin shows you will see dealers with numerous books of proof coins being sold individually. They are eagerly purchased by individuals that want to fill a Dansco or Whitman Album where there are slots for such coins. However, not all sell so the dealer will take the ones that don't sell and put them in a plastic roll and sell as a roll of proof coins. Same with Uncirc sets from the Mint. You have to remember that most products everywhere cost more if you buy them a little at a time rather than the entire item. For instance if you sell your car to a junk yard you'll get about $40 to 50 for it. It you go back to that same junk yard and buy back your car piece at a time you will pay about $10,000 for it. If you wanted to build a TV set. All the parts would probably cost you thousands and you could have bought a better one at Walmart for a few hundred. All same with coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
