Hey NumisEd, if you have a coin already, boy have I got a few questions for you  Is your coin a rock? Is your coin dated to 550BC? Is this coin greater than 7,500mm?  Okokok, those questions don't count I think

Quote: Can you "old boys" (Keith and loonie) clarify if a proof counts as a circulation coin Have you seen the finish on these Swiss coins. They are the equivalent to anyone else's proof. Would love to see one of their proof coins.

Well look at @chafe with the first question.  Does this coin contain a precious metal? I would like to hear everyone's thoughts on the proof coins I know they are not intended for circulation. I have all the U.S. proof sets from 1950- 2022 And 20 1964 SMS But to me a proof of a standard circulation coin is still a standard circulation coin. Just with lip stick

Quote: I would like to hear everyone's thoughts on the proof coins My way of thinking, is that proofs are usually in sets or issued in special cards or cases, so not intended for circulation.

Good stuff chafe.....you know what you should ask next.....we'll leave it to you.
Edit - Don't use "from". Minted or issued works better. You should know that by now.
