Message:: [QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 900186, member: 24633"]There is nothing wrong with the fact that you are an ardent collector of the Proof SAE's, and if I had intended to make this a biased poll, I would not have included all of those options. But, you can't compare the Proof SAE to the Peace Dollar. As I said, the Peace Dollar was intended solely as a circulating coin. Production was halted during the Depression because most people were lucky to have a job that paid $5-$10 a week.  The Proof SAE was halted on a whim of the government. Sure, the price of silver was going back up again and the government was claiming they had a shortage, but they could have just as easily cut back production of uncirculated "green monsters" and used that bullion to produce the proof version. Chris[/QUOTE]
