canadian_coins Pillar of the Community United States 2408 Posts	Posted 03/27/2008 11:21 pm For my spouse (important), family, friends, mom, pa, crowd, etc: PROOF no doubt about that. For me: I want them all. But if I had to sell everything except 1 coin I would keep the rarest Proof. Marc Report this Post to the Staff
