I buy the rolls because the coins in bags have more opportunity to get dings and scratches, plus I don't need 100.

Received my proofs today. I was skeptical but they are nice looking. I have no idea what I'm going to do with these.  |

Only time will tell. It's not a limited mintage coin and could easily be sold throughout all of 2019 Very true, they sold the 1999 P proof SBA dollars for four years. |

Just read on another thread that the proof is showing as "currently unavailable" on the mints website. Pretty surprising since I figured these would still be available through the first half of 2019.

Same here. I was waiting to order with the Apollo coins since I missed out on free shipping.

The last published sales figure is 79,723 on December 30th. If it holds anything close to that, this proof will be a winner. It will be interesting to see how the uncs end up as well.

Perhaps they'll put a 2019 date on it! That would be a violation of the law so they'd want to round them all up. I can see the mint police knocking at my door. :)
