Reasons to own Proof coins

 

In this article, we will delve into some of the features that distinguish Proof coins from the regular bullion coins. Whether you are looking to collecting or new to proof coins, this will help you make a delightful purchase decision.

 

Proof coins are recognized for their stunning, sharp, detailed presentation. This is achieved by using hand-finished die to strike Proof coins and the dies are constantly re-polished to ensure the intricate details of the design. Due to the high amount of manual work such as inspection and cleaning, only 50 Proof coins can be struck in an hour. Thanks to the immaculate production process, proof coins are the finest quality commemorative coins.

 

The main reason to own Proof coins are:

Rarity: Unlike the bullion coins, Proof coins are limited in mintage due to the additional manual work and time-consuming production process as compared to minting a bullion coin.

 

Price: Generally, Proof coins have a higher premium as they carry a more defined presentation, quality and exceptional finish. For collectors who value beauty, Proof coins are well worth the premium. Moreover, due to its limited mintage, some of these proof coins might appreciate greatly in value as collectors would like to get their hands on one. Especially if they missed out on it previously, they would be willing to pay much more for it to complete their collection.

 

Appearance: Instead of being struck once, Proof coins are struck twice in order to give the coins a shinier, sculpted foreground and intricate appearance. The mirror-like surfaces and detailed sharp features distinguishes them from the regular coins.

 

Packaging: Proof coins are encased in a protective capsule and packaged beautifully in a gift box and this makes it a thoughtful gift especially for birthdays or anniversaries.
