“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly."
The proof has a mintage which is limited. The MS has an unlimited mintage. Which winds up being a better buy depends on demand. There seems to be a ton of demand for these coins right now which indicates to me that they are both poor choices for investment, unless your goal is to lose money.
Well if the AGE is any guide, if gold stays around where it is the proof should lose about $100 over the next few years. If gold declines it will lose more. If it goes up it should hold its value or increase if gold rises $100 or so. In short I don't think too much of the proof at it's current price. One thing that could make this opinion invalid would be if the mint changes the design next year. One year only types have a better chance of holding their value.
