the lottery. On the other hand, mint errors such as doubled dies, overstrikes, etc., are often not easily seen with the naked eye Collectors consider grading perhaps the single most important factor in the realm of coins. silver coin values this important feature pops up everywhere - in deciding which coin to buy at a show, in upgrading your collection, in buying by mail. and grading can be frustrating, coin because it''s entirely subjective. a beautiful proof (mirror-like finish, limited edition) 2001 american silver eagle 1 oz. coin, in a presentation box. 2001 clad proof set, ten coins (5 state quarters and sacagawea dollar too!). brilliant uncirculated 2001 "p" and "d" mint sacagawea dollars. get both brand-new dollars today!!! 2001 american silver eagle, uncirculated, 1 troy values oz. silver. add this beautiful coin to your collection. we offer all 26 (del. thru ri p&d) uncirculated silver state quarter rolls, in bank or shrink wrap (our choice) for a limited time not at our usual $565 price, but at a very low special of under $20 coin per roll average!!! complete set of uncirc. 1 oz. silver coins. all 16 coins minted so far (1986-2001), plus a dansco supreme album (with plenty of room for future coins). same price as last year . . think of! let''s take a brief look at these five areas, and how cameo''s rate in relation to other u.s. coinage. there are few coins in numismatics as attractive as a cameo proof. while some may disagree with this statement, there is no disputing the opinions values of literally thousands of collectors and dealers already familiar with this coinage. proof coins themselves are minted specifically for collectors. silver as such, they have always represented the state-of-the-art in minting techniques. the mint has always gone to considerable trouble to produce these coins. proof dies are highly polished and buffed until the surfaces possess a mirror-like perfection. planchets coin go through extra steps in their preparation, until they too possess a brighter, satiny appearance. traditionally, proof planchets have been hand-fed into the die, and have always been double struck, under higher pressures than business strikes, to bring out every possible detail. once struck, the coins are handled individually so as not to abrade with other coins, as business strikes normally would. cameo proofs were the very earliest strikes off new proof dies. during certain periods in the history of the mint, part of the die preparation process quality u.s. proofs and mint state franklins in our inventory. the best thing about the exceptional proofs and mint state franklins we offer, is that we can sell them by simply telling the truth about their quality and rarity. we don''t need to give you a sales pitch. and we won''t. in numismatics, as in real estate, jewelry, or any other form of collectible, "quality" is a primary consideration in one''s buying decision. doing one''s best, being the best, owning the best.....is a basic human desire. certainly, without that instinct or drive, the human race would not have progressed as it has over the past 10,000 years. and so it is the desire of most every collector to own the highest quality issue available of whatever it is they are collecting. unfortunately, in most fields of collector interest, the very finest quality specimens are priced beyond the pocketbook of the average collector at today''s levels. there is only so much "beach-front" property available in real estate, and there are only so many coins in numismatics that offer the collector the opportunity of owning the best. however, while the most desirable beach-front property in the u.s. values is beyond the pocketbook of the average
