Why don't proof coins get these designations.

As a collector of primarily proof coins, mostly raw but a few of them graded. I've noticed that proof coins don't seem to be recognized by the major grading companies NGC,PCGS and the others as having full bell lines, FT,FB,FS,etc. Why is this? Or do they grade them as such and I've just not seen any for sale?

It would seem to me to be just as relevant a grading criteria for proof coins as well as mint state ones. Any thoughts or comments on this matter would be appreciated. Thanks

PS Buy some silver or gold ASAP for your future as well as your families. Here's a shot of a few pieces I've accumulated over the past few years 700 oz.s and counting.
