Proofs Can Still Be Found In Circulation

[Guest]

Ran across this 1987-S Proof in a roll a few minutes ago. This is the 3rd Proof I have come across in about 2 weeks time.

You're on a roll Joe, I've found three in the past year (64,80,99) but really don't enjoy seeing a proof all scratched up....but I still save em

Nice find Joe.
I am guilty of recycling a badly scratched, cloudy, or damaged (noncollectable) proof coin.
Awhile back I took several to my bank to hand out to the nice tellers so they could experience
the obvious difference of a proof coin to one made for circulation. They were amazed at the
colors and the sharp rim and image. It is always fun to share this hobby.

It's crazy to find a proof in circulation. I've only found two.

I have done that too Jean. I found myself overwhlmed with a lot coins last year and it was earier for me to simply enter some into circulation than go through the dance of trying to get a few bucks for them. Giving the coins provides a simple sens of joy when i think of the expression when one is discovered in change .

I like to do this especially around Christmas time with my '63 proof silver quarters and dimes - it's a tradition.

(I hate garage sales for the same reason, lol, and wind up just giving stuff away )

I've only found one in circulation.....1999-S......with a monster fingerprint on the obverse.
