Uncirculated coin set

Do we know this to be true when you look across all proof coins? I know for quite a while there were sets like the First Spouse and Commemoratives that make purchasing regular proofs difficult for most of us. Several years ago if you were a gold proof collector you would have needed a Gold Buffalo and perhaps a Reverse Proof, a Gold Eagle and perhaps a Reverse Proof, 4 Gold Spouse, and several Commemoratives just to keep up. That is a lot more than lunch money. Then there are ASE and Commemorative Silver, and normal proof sets.

But when you add up all proofs being sold are they really going down?

Yup, still, even when you add them all up.

 

Because they will be able to sell them.

 

Especially at first. The "out years" will be the acid test, as usual.

 

I believe the reverse proof became popular in other countries first, perhaps England or Canada. It was a way to demonstrate minting skill and artistic skill. I believe that they will continue to be an attractive addition to each series so long as they don't overdo them. In the gold arena a reverse proof every year would begin to tax pocketbooks to the limit for many collectors.

 

The plan is the same coins as the existing set - cent through dollar coin.

 

Here is a new and interesting article on proofs from CoinWeek http://www.coinweek.com/modern-coins/why-did-the-number-of-cameo-proofs-increase-1950-1964/

 

hey - by nature of being married, you ARE wrong....ALWAYS....just ask MY wife...(smile)

 

If a man says something in the woods, and his wife isn't there to hear him, is he still wrong?

 

Sooo. Michael, my man, seems we're getting a reverse proof set AND an enhanced uncirc. set too. Ain't 2017 grand?

 

irrespective of the proximity of one's wife to oneself - if he's married - his wife not only HEARS all...but KNOWS all! (smile)
