(I don't like the idea of proof coins in anything other that hard plastic holders of some kind.) Another question is: Should I go for clad proofs or silver proofs? Yes There's pluses and minuses to all approaches, just depends what you like best. If you go the proof route there are a lot you can basically get for a very small premium already graded so I would go graded at the grade before a big value jump for proofs if it was me and you were set on doing proofs.

ChildJoyAgain New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 04/21/2018 8:39 pm rbjr85, I recently got back to collecting modern proof coins that so fascinated me during my childhood. I've chosen to concentrate, for now, on the Era from 1950-1970. My goal is enjoy this journey but to also develop a first class collection of these beautiful coins. I would suggest to have fun during your searches. Pick up one book at a time and don't start out with an entire library. Look around to multiple respected sources for you coin purchases and, at least for me, I stay away from raw coins and focus on certified coins. The reputable services are there for a reason, our peace of mind. You can still shop around for the best deal from among these graded coins. Best of luck and have a ball!

rbjr85 Valued Member United States 77 Posts	Posted 04/22/2018 6:43 pm I decided to go for the clad proof quarters instead of silver proofs. That way there I can use the money I save from not buying the silver ones and put it towards commemoratives and Silver Eagles. I also decided on certified coins so I can look at each one individually instead of having to look at several at once. Plus I suspect that the slabs offer better protection than the proof set cases. Can any of you confirm or debunk that? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 04/22/2018 10:25 pm Slabbed clad quarter proofs should be really easy to come by in PR68-69DCAM and be inexpensive. It will be a great looking set. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Report this Post to the Staff
