[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 4980305, member: 105098"]Hi Peter, I'm unclear on what your question is or if there are multiple questions. so If I'm way off base here and not answering the question you are asking,.... sorry. :) "I guess what i'm getting at is why wouldn't someone take one the proofs out for example which are worth less and have it graded? Not counting in and factoring the grading cost.." Proof is Proof, MS is MS. it's not the same strike. take the 1963 you pictured, it needs to be MS66 or higher to be worth more than $30, or it needs to be at least MS64 with full bell lines to be worth more than $30. this is where the prices jump way up, because MS66 or better is hard to achieve. As Far as Proof goes of the same year, it's about $50 for PR67, $90 for a cameo PR67, And about $250 for a Deep Cameo PR67. for a non-cameo 1963 Proof, it's really got to be PR69 for that year to be worth the big bucks a non-cameo PR68 sells for around $75.00 if you can find a buyer for it. A proof will be graded as a Proof, A Business Strike is going to be graded as MS, it's the same scale, but proofs were better struck and proof dies were finished differently for the collector markets. A proof won't slip by and get tagged as a MS coin at least not with Franklin halves. Hopefully this is what you mean?[/QUOTE]
