<p>[QUOTE="1865King, post: 6225875, member: 103207"]Basically, proofs after 1955 are fairly easy to find nice and aren't going to break the bank to buy them. However, don't not buy them from a dealer without looking at them first. Avoid any with any spots on them even if faint. Same with those that seem to have funny toning. Those spots / toning may change over time leaving you with an unsellable coin. If you really want to play with the big boys you need to go back further in time. Any prior to 1860 are very expensive and truly rare. Those made from 1860 until the early 1900's are collectable but some can be very expensive also.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
