<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 1299500, member: 24633&quot;]You will often find dealers who submit proof sets in bulk, and they usually specify PF69 as a minimum acceptable grade. The rest of the coins are returned uncertified, and this is one of the few ways that they can dispose of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>In 2007, I purchased 9 tubes of 2004-2006 proof nickels because I decided to put together 13-coin sets of the Westward Journey nickels. Each set contains one each of the uncirculated business strikes: 2004 P&amp;D Peace Medal &amp; Keelboat, 2005 P&amp;D Bison &amp; Ocean in View and 2006 P&amp;D Return to Monticello. The three extra slots were intended for the three different obverse views of Jefferson: right-facing profile (2004), partial forward-facing (2005) and full forward-facing (2006). However, I decided that the sets would look much nicer if I used the proof coins for the three Jefferson obverses.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is just one example of ways that the ungraded proof coins can be used. Sometimes, a person might want to put together birthday sets to distribute to family members and maybe sell the extras. There are all kinds of projects that can be devised.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
