<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2436302, member: 69760&quot;]So, I&#039;m wondering, if one were to seek these &quot;Cartwheel Proofs&quot; (I&#039;m not sure there&#039;s an official name for them, so I&#039;m calling it this) from the Mint directly, should one purchase proof coins from the Mint well after the initial offerings? Does the Mint typically have a timeline for how long these proofs are offered? If so, then do you order proofs during the final week? For example, if it&#039;s a 12 week production cycle, do you order the specific proof coin at week 12? Or, is it all a toss up as far as what you&#039;ll get, since there&#039;s no telling when the proof dies will be replaced or maintained? Or if the dies aren&#039;t worked to death like in the era of the &#039;64 coin, and dies typically last until the last run, is the Mint consistent with releasing &quot;Cartwheel Proofs&quot; in their last batch?</p><p><br /></p><p>I think these &quot;Cartwheel Proofs&quot; are superior to the &quot;Proof-Like&quot; strikes, so this would be preferred in my book (IMHO for my collection, Cartwheel Proof &gt; Proof-Like &gt; Proof &gt; Business).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
