Are proof coins all created equal?

Recommended Posts

I am relatively new to stacking and stack based on silver content not  numismatic values (too many variables for me) but I was wondering in regards to British mints only, are proof coins created equal? I.e. if it isn't a royal mint proof does anyone care? For example I given a proof coin by jublee mint but not sure it carries more value then bullion value.

People will always want the royal mint version first and they will carry the best premium. 

That being said, if you like a coin from some other mint then buy it ( just don't expect as good a resale value)

I like to buy the pre-dip dip

@LawrenceChard ask your bezza mate barry.... lets hear from him what he says

Sound money is not a guarantee of a free society, but a free society is impossible without sound money. We are currently a society enslaved by debt.

"All men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

...unlees you are black, native America, Hispanic...

And it probably excludes woman because it specifies men.

So, we probably treat it as a very early piece of American fake news or propaganda.

I can safely say that not all proofs are equal, even if they are from the Royal Mint.

Gold proofs, for example, are better than silver proofs, IMO; and you have to pay VAT on silver ones, but not on gold, so you can buy them for closer to their intrinsic metal value.

I'm not surprised someone gave you a Jubilee (so-called) Mint proof. They aren't easy to sell.

If you are buying for value or investment, you are better off buying gold bullion.

But is not, just buy what takes your fancy, and you can afford.

Many modern issue proofs in any metal, can often be bought a year later for a fraction of the new price.

The other odd thing about this coin is tge COA that came with it says 925 silver but on the coin it is marked with CM 999 and another mark I can't read. So wi

Wich us it, 925 or 999 :)?
