<p>[QUOTE="oz_in_ohio, post: 3196652, member: 89534"]Just remember for re-sale, a collector will<b><span style="color: #ff0000"> not want </span></b>a proof coin...They would prefer out of an unc set as the frosting will be like a sore or black eye to the others in the collection....You will find some dates were made not issued for general circulation and the only way to obtain them loosely will be from an unc or proof set....STAY AWAY FROM THE PROOF ITEM...It is hard to sell on the 2nd hand market...If you want a good example, look at the 1985 Australian 5c coin or nickel. That was the only coin in that year issued that did not go into circulation and many sets have been destroyed because of it.. I can honestly say i have destroyed hundreds of sets because of this and the rest went individually into ebay at 99c each as i made my money from the nickel. However you will be the best judge on what you do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
