GoldFinger1969 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Most modern bullion coins come back as 70 or 69...the floor is usually a 68....I presume they were in fact Proofs which is why they got the PF designation. Regular bullion that LOOKED proof-like would get a PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) Yes, I’m wondering about the ratio. Normally I would have 2 And mostly 3 out of 3 at PF70. Seems odd to only have 1 of 3. I have been buying every year since it came out they came out in 2006 and 90% come back PF70 Edited April 29, 2020 by catman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at them under a lens. I wouldn't worry, you can always submit more or buy what you want for a decent premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henri Charriere Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 🐓: Hey, Q! My proof is proofier than yours. Q.A.: Maybe so but the only opinion that counts is My Cousin Vinny's. This incremental grading craze at stratospheric heights, a/k/a Mint State, is as unfathomable now as it was way back when. Anybody still remember a time when a Proof coin, was just that: a Proof coin, and nothing else? Jeez! Carry on, gentlemen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
