Here is a 1976-S Type 1 Clad Proof Ike I found in a bag recently. Looks like it's "been around" a bit.

Does anyone actually collect this type of thing? Show us your circ proofs!

I can't show you a picture, but just this past week I found a 1983 S dime in pristine condition. Some very minor marks in the obverse field and the frost was starting to wear off the high points. At first glance, it look unimpaired.

Years ago, I bought a heavily circuated 1952 silver quarter from a dealer. It turned out to be the proof design version. But it didn't quite match. It is the discovery piece for the 1952 class III doubled die of both business strike and proof artwork.

Here's a bunch of proofs I pulled out of a couple bags of halves back in '08. Also in the bag was plenty of silver.

First, the list:

1-1957 Franklin Proof
4-1994 Silver (The picture only shows 3 because I accidentally put a silver one with the clads.)
1-2001 Silver

4-1988's
5-1994's
2-1995's
4-1996's
2-1997's
6-1998's
3-1999's
5-2000's
2-2001's
3-2002's

And the pictures:

These all came out of 2 $1000 bags of halves when the picking used to be good.

I once received a 1981 S SBA Proof in change. It was is remarkable good shape with only minimal marks so I held on to it. After a while I realized that I didn't care a whit for the coin and very few people seem to care about SBAs in general, so I went back out and spent it. Be on the lookout.

Here are the two I have received in change, got the quarter in ~1999 and the dime in ~2007 - both clad.

Sorry about the pics - they are from the cell phone camera:
