hfjacinto, you don't collect proof coins, right?

Just no interest? Or you prefer to concentrate on purchasing nicer business strike coins, as opposed to messing with proofs?

I have a bunch of proofs in my albums, for no reason then I like proofs. I recently added a label to all the proof coins. The modern clad coinage doesn't impress me, so I don't collect modern coinage.

See here, the 1953, 1954,1955, 1957 and 1958 are proof. But I won't get a proof album, if I can find a nice proof instead of a common date (P) coin, I'll put a proof in instead.

Looks great. And gotcha!

So for circumstances where you have a proof in a business strike spot, do you still collect the business strike?

Not really, almost all common date P mint cents have minimal value even in GEM grade, so I'll just collect the proof.

That makes sense.

For completionist scenarios, I think it would bother me not having the business strike at least in the album, even if it's not in the assigned port.
Then again, I am prone to being a bit OCD.
