TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4870 Posts	Posted 02/11/2017 08:46 am I have browsed 1000's of coin listings on ebay and I find it hilarious that so many listings label proof coins as "proof condition". Proofs are a type of strike, not a condition! Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 02/11/2017 09:22 am No , I've seen myself listings that say the coin is a proof when it is hands down MS . What really gets me mad is when they say BU Proof or Proof Uncirculated . Report this Post to the Staff

Oldephriam Valued Member United States 424 Posts	Posted 02/11/2017 11:01 am I guess I'm in birth condition for my age, I'm just a big fat baby. Is 'Proof Condition' proof that it is in a condition to be a proof? Or is an impaired proof in a condition that is proof it was uncirculated when it was a proof thus having proof of its condition?
