I've been watching predecimal copper proof coins for a while now and it looks like they've dropped in price a bit in 2013 so now might be the time to snap a few up

It is a proof coin coinstew, not a business stike. They were struck from specially prepared dies in very limited numbers. I dont have my book but I'm guessing about 1300-1500 for 1961.
