<p>[QUOTE="thecoinczar, post: 1529709, member: 27869"]I agree with idhair on older proof coins. The older proof coins make excellent examples, especially the Seated Liberty types and the Barber Liberty types. Don't get me wrong, I adore proof coins and love the old and the new ones. But the older proof coins are exceptional. The art of proofing coins hit its height in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and finding a superior proofed coin from that time can be challenging. I think I like the older ones due to their rarity also. Many older proofs have a bonus of toning. This is the clincher for me, an older proof coin with toning. Their eye appeal is off the charts as far as I'm concerned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
