Can you post some of the exact examples you are wondering about? Normally it's all about the demand for the coins. Report this Post to the Staff

I would say that the survival rate of the proofs are far greater than the survival rate of the business strikes in high grade.

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 09/16/2025 12:46 pm Think about it, proofs are carefully saved, while business strikes are spent and handled without care. The vast quantity of low grade 1877s show what they endured when placed into circulation. There are many more high grade proofs available than business strikes. Therefore, the price for the proofs is less, and people often place a proof 1877 in their album over a business strike example. Suffering from bust half fever.
