akane17 Valued Member United States 404 Posts	Posted 08/02/2011 3:12 pm Thank you for that AG, I didn't know that. There is no marking on the NF boxes for which carrier it may be. Report this Post to the Staff
Ricardocody Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 08/02/2011 5:01 pm Yesterday I searched 2 boxes and today just finished 1 . So 3 boxes = 0 75% of the coins are marked on the back of jfk's head * ( pics below) 20% are marked with a giant dot around jfk's ear*(pics below) I dont know if they called them selves collectors because on my last months searches I found couple proof with the same marks and on the pics below a example so you know what I'm talking about .. Is there anybody else who also have to deal with these 2 miners ? I though I would never give up but is hard to pull up with these 2 on the same coin-stream ... Report this Post to the Staff

angel2004 Pillar of the Community United States 2168 Posts	Posted 08/02/2011 6:23 pm Wow, lucky you. I wish I hit a box like your second one one time. I am pretty lucky though, 2 to 6 in all but one of the 6 boxes I've looked through. Those 2 keep me going back again! Good luck with the others. Report this Post to the Staff

wrestling_135 Pillar of the Community United States 802 Posts	Posted 08/02/2011 10:46 pm Are "proof" coins worth anything? And can someone post a picture of a "proof" I have a bunch of new shiny looking coins, but I'm not sure if that's what "proof" is. Report this Post to the Staff
Ricardocody Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 08/02/2011 11:10 pm Look for the S mint mark also the frost cameo because 95% of the proof have the cameo efect ! Report this Post to the Staff
wrestling_135 Pillar of the Community United States 802 Posts	Posted 08/02/2011 11:16 pm They have to have an S mint mark in order to be a proof? Also what what are the rough value of these? $1 tops? $5? Thanks guys! Report this Post to the Staff
Ricardocody Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 08/03/2011 12:00 am As we have price for each grade , we also have price for proof state ! The scale start with g vg f vf xf au ms proof . The proof planchet is different of the planchet for circulation . The proof coin is special for collector and can be called a perfect coin made by a die with perfect details etc ! Check at your coins for the S mm ones , the ones very shinny and with 2 distinct reflex under the light ( the bust and back ground always ll have separated reflects under the light , whille the bust ll look like frost the back ground of the coin ll have a mirror like effect in the same time ) The edge is very sharp like a knife the rim and letters also the design have a perfect strike!

smokeriderdon Pillar of the Community United States 3755 Posts	Posted 08/03/2011 01:00 am Again, I mark coins and I have NO problem with anyone that does. I have a couple proofs that have marks on them. One even says all banged up (no duh) but no biggy. When I get some more acetone, those marks will be gone. No harm no foul. I would rather people mark them, then I KNOW I am wading through someones leftovers. And if I run into them the way it seems ricardo is, tells me maybe I should try a different source. And I can guarantee any coin I have marked is NOT collectable. Regardless of why anyone is collecting those coins. Went through 3 boxes yesterday and just one 67. And a bunch of marked coins.

wrestling_135 Pillar of the Community United States 802 Posts	Posted 08/03/2011 01:04 am Thank you ricardo, those are some beautiful coins. Smoker, glad to know you mark your coins so you know you don't hit your silver again. You don't care about coin collectors who do this for a hobby, you only care about your selfish self who wants to find silver and doesn't want to search their own coins twice. Thank you!
