I save em' all too. I have a decent amount of NIFC's as a result.
I would agree that the "here & now" prices aren't much if anything, but
they're still too new to even
expect anything extra for them right now. I look more "down the line"......like 20 to 30 years from now. At this point in the future, there
MAY be a nice premium for these,
especially if they stop making them altogether in the next few years.Kennedy collectors years from now, will put a premium on these business strikes, I bet. And remember, the Uncirculated ones in the Sets that everybody gets nowadays, are
not business strikes, they are "Satin Finish", which is a different coin.......
So, there are several interesting curiosities to have reasons to save them, in my opinion.
As far as "circulated" Proofs........You just
have to save those ! They'll NEVER have the value of a pristine example taken from a Proof Set, of course, but there should be something above face value for them, at some point......but even if there isn't,
I could just never let a circulated Proof coin slip through my fingers, knowingly, and return it to circulation.Generally, it'll always be looked at by me as "a find" when I come across a NIFC or a Proof, while roll searching, the "premium" or "quick turnaround money" is just not that important to me I guess.
I even have that attitude towards any junk Silver that I come by, though, given the prices of Silver right now, it's very tempting to part it ! ...
