For example, a Franklin half which is often considered a "so so" design, but when viewed in Proof 67 and up Cameo/Deep Cameo is quite beautiful.

I collect the Lincoln Cents in proof, graded and have all the issues 1950 through 2024. Now that the 2025 ones are coming down in price, I will begin to take a look at them. I bought the 2024 in PF70 in Jan 2025, for $34.95, way down from their prices in 2024, and the same will go with 2025. The proof strike is a beautiful way to showcase the minter's art.

I also have a complete set of proof issues for 1952 through 1972, and a few gaps here and there for 1973 through 1998, also graded. I also have the 1950 and 1951 issues, minus the Franklin half dollars.

I also have a complete set in original packaging for 1955 through 2025, so yes I do have a few proof coins and sets.
