Popular Post J P M Posted May 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2023 Well so far 2023 hunting has had some slow pickings for odd coins. I wont say ( error ) coins because they are very rare. But once in a while you find a nice strike in the wild or in this case a proof. A bit rough but still fun to find.

powermad5000 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Sadly, some of these modern proofs being not worth much get thrown into circulation which is the opposite intent of the Mint making proofs in the first place. If the Mint wants to cause more attention and excitement to proof coins, they should go back to the proof mintage numbers of Morgan dollars (some 1,100, some 750, some less). People are finding they have nothing "special" when such large numbers of proofs are currently made. JT2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, there is not much special that is affordable either or the mint makes a certain amount of coins lets say a remake of a Morgan with a limited number. Then they realize, (Oh wow) they sold so well we should do some more. That kinda defeats the whole idea. powermad5000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
