I enjoy looking at them but they are not an area of numismatics that I want to collect, thus I have none to show. Thanks for sharing yours.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
Your proofs are older than mine.

You got some nice ones though, especially the Buffalo nickels 👍
Here is an older US proof-

This particular Jefferson of course is not old but it is an outstanding beauty.
Mix and match😜
Part one-
Part two.
ANACS called this a proof, I'm not 100% sure it is. It's got nice toning and the surfaces aren't nearly as bad as they look in the photo.
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
The only two I have images of.
Not, US but should qualify. Aluminum foil proof:
Well, just Love coins, period.
Only old coin I had that was proof.

I think you are right to be skeptical, as the date placement is off compared to all other 1862 H10C proofs I've looked at. A pretty coin, in any case!
@crazyhounddog That 1904 IHC is special. Congratulations

I think I only have two proofs in my set these days as I focus on circulated Business strikes

I really like proofs from the 1800's. Here's my only one and hope to get more in the future.

Lib nickels are ugly....until they look like this....
This is the oldest one I have. My next oldest proof is a 1942.

Wow🤩 those are some of the early silver proofs 👍👍👍
Love that '36 Eagle and old proofs, sadly none of mine even qualify. When I do get one, it will be an IHC.
Not as old as the nice 1827 above ... but close (and my oldest)

Wow you have an actual proof with rays. This is a famous proof and is a rarity. Congrats 🎉
If one thing, this thread certainly highlights the value of TrueView photos 🙂
He who knows he has enough is rich.
This is the only old one I have. After this, more recently, is a 1955.

Nothing is as expensive as free money.
This thread may have influenced my purchase today.
These are the only two proofs I have dated before 1900. The nickel has a DDR. Notice the doubling on the annulet.

80 years is considered old, right?
Or 71?
