Once in a while you will find one. It was much more common in harder times the 20's- 40's. I have one proof from the 30s in a circulated grade but I didn't find it in a roll. Keep looking.

Out of what seems like a million searched, I've found 2 proofs. One of them was nice, around PR65 but other was badly impared.

Unless they're early, none are expensive to purchase (memorial and late wheats)

Hard to tell from my pics, but I found this on this past weekend. I have only found three or four.   |

I'm with Thad - out of what seems like a million, I've found only 1. I think if you're going to put the proofs in an album, they should look like proofs and not be impaired.

Only have found one roll with any proofs. Fortunately there were five in that roll.

I am still learning here, but how do I determine that the coin is a proof?

I found this 1987 S proof a few weeks back. It's the only proof I've found in a bank roll. There's some cool Machine Doubling in my opinion too, you can see it in picture 3    |

I think finding a proof, however, would be awesome. I am probably going to shell out for most proofs and over time itll be fun and worth while. Its a new realm of coin collecting called ebay that I get to experience lol. |

Proof cents are the hardest proofs to find of all denominations ! I about to reach 600 boxes and only found 1 LMC proof , 2 LWC's and 2 or 3 SMS ! If you ll start a circulated set my though is : dont even worry about proofs , just my op!.. The LWC's are almost impossible to tell when you found a proof . people dont like impaired proofs but I love to have these S mm in a separated set on the side ! Edited by Ricardocody
