I am a big fan of the fully brilliant proofs that were produced up through 1964. To find one in the junk bin that looks like it would grade well is a sweet deal. I am still hoping that the mint will have the guts to produce some fully brilliant proofs again. Now that the technology exists to make die that produce fully brilliant coins from strike one (the pre-1965 die had to strike a few cameo coins before the devices smoothed out), they could produce some very interesting coin sets. Imagine an ASE set with a modern cameo proof, a "reverse" proof, a fully satin proof (an uncirculated ASE struck twice), and a fully brilliant proof.
