that proof coinage is spent in daily transactionsimage
My first proof find, put a smile on my face on the way to work image
A couple of nicks, but it's a DCAM. The girl behind the counter asked, "What's a proof"?
I filled her in with the details. I always use cash, just so I can receive change.
A meager find, but signifigant to meimage

    I have pulled the silver from 60's Proof Sets before and spent the nickel & cent!

    Need the following OBW rolls to complete my 46-64 Roosevelt roll set:
    1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
    Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

    When I worked at a gas station I would get young people spending proofs their relatives gave them on stuff. I would tell them they are worth the silver at least and they would just not care and rather have a soda or whatever.
