Comment from : @ridgerunner7980

I have a few proof coins, but not for investment They had images I really like so i bought them in proof format
Comment from : @MarkMphonoman

Was not expecting the 8-bit guy to show up in this lol
Comment from : @Carlain716

Proof coins usually have mint marks while bullion circulated do not have them Proof coins are really for numismatic collecting while the non proof bullion is purely for investing purposes
Comment from : @alouie001

How is a 2006 25 proof piece 90 silver? Are those in circulation?
Comment from : @michaelmorrison4201

Won't they tarnish though if circulated?

Comment from : @fbnmndz

excellent explanation, thank you
Comment from : @MJGiftFromGod

I have been to the Australian miny and seen proof coins getting made they really do take care of thoose coins if they make it the slightest bit wrong they will just put it in a bucket to be taken away I would say about 30 of the proof coins they make are thrown away because of slight mistakes in the process

WHAT A WASTE OF TIME !
Comment from : @rkb6783

The 8 bit coins
Comment from : @Kevinbarnaclejones

So can you legally spend a proof coin?
Comment from : @TongassTerrain

Wait, how is a 2006 qaurter 90 silver?
Comment from : @VayKayCollections

So in essence it has to do with the quality of the stamp process, correct?
Comment from : @JW52654

Short and sweet! Thank you!

I was not expecting to see David when I clicked on this video lol
Comment from : @acesthelamp

Thank you for your explanation I just bought two "proof" 2019 Silver Eagles and paid twice as much than the regular "plane Jane" coins I'm buying silver for long term investment So moving forward, I'm staying away from the proof coins Ugh!!!

Comment from : @JACOPOOFFICIEL

Cheers for this, been searching for "how many 2 euro coins are there?" for a while now, and I think this has helped You ever tried - Wonenry Sonucas Approach - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my cousin got amazing success with it
Comment from : @armin4594

I had no idea David was into coin collecting! What?!?!?!
Comment from : @JoshuaPaulKing

Cool thx Now I know And knowing is half the battle
Comment from : @monte21228

OMG!!! I have loved your 8-bit guy videos forever, but I never knew about your numismatic interests This is awesome and I wish I had more upvotes and subscriptions to offer!
Comment from : @TheArtyBartfast

but WHY do they retain more value? WHY are they made to begin with? WHAT is their purpose? The Mint doesn't just put out different coins because they look fancyer
Comment from : @timokampwerth1996

All I want to know is what happened to Morby the lab assistant?
Comment from : @leonamaro1983

Its weird to think that you have a channel based on something I'm interested, yet I never heard of it until I was a fan of 8-Bit Guy for around 2 years or so Sad to know you don't use this one anymore, but nevertheless, I'm still a fan of 8-Bit Guy and Keys
Comment from : @BalticoYT

Thought ide just mention it's a lot clearer if you look herebr enmwikipediaorg/wiki/Proof_coinage

Comment from : @TamBryan1

My big question would be why did they make a proof version in the first place?
Comment from : @aaronstaley8323

Errors in coins can cost hundreds to thousands more than a proof, so it is best to check coins thoroughly before sending them to a smelter
Comment from : @tabby956

8-bit guy? wtf
Comment from : @eduardopupucon

Got one check my vids
Comment from : @jonc7836

Was this really 5 year's ago ?
Comment from : @KORIGAN1

Not a good comparisonshoud have done the Silver Eagle standard and Silver eagle proof
Comment from : @captbosco

The answer is simple you buy proof you well spend more and it won’t warranty more money at the time you sell it br But some people spend money on cigarettes so you doing better
Comment from : @cperlera

I have a couple proof coins I can see my reflection on them like a mirror but I don't know if they are silver how do I find out

Aren't You The Guy From 8-Bit Keys?
Comment from : @HelloThere-kd3if

I Prefer the 40halves most recognized silver vcloser to currency value 😅
Comment from : @dondesnoo1771

MY INITIAL REACTION IS 'WHAT A WIMP' HOWEVER YOU DO A VERY GOOD JOB PRESENTING BOTH SIDES I AGREE YOU DO NEED TO DETERMINE YOUR ULTIMATE GOAL, GIVEN ENOUGH TIM HOWEVER YOU CAN DO BOTH, BY TIME I MEAN FIGURE ON A MINIMUM OF 5 YEARS PREFERABLY 10 TO 20 YEARS FOR A VERY GOOD IN DEPTH APPROACH
Comment from : @petedeiler9431

I like the proofs because in my last reincarnation I was a crow that liked shiny objects
Comment from : @texman8150

Comment from : @Rach3tLiggy

thank you did not know what they were not collecting yet but information is great nice presentation clear concise and understandable
Comment from : @Pilotfish2u1

i think bunc looks better
Comment from : @fretboarder4752

I only buy proof's now, I love the mirrored finishes on them In gold they come with much lower mintage's, than standard BU gold coins do ie: 2016 panda bu 30 gram is 600,000 mintage, while the 50 gram Proof Panda, has a mintage of just 20,000!
Comment from : @donttouchmysilver8202

i purchased my first proof coin this week its more of a long term investment as well as being a great hand down in years to come

Comment from : @uncletony6210

Comment from : @memeoffline

Who would buy silver during a zombie apocalypse, lol
Comment from : @abhi44890

another pro of proofs: they are easier to find because they have silver versions to this day
Comment from : @TheLucidDreamer12

Greetings from a new sub ;)brbrI've only been stacking for a relatively short period and am going the low(est) premium bullion route When/If it comes time to sell I would prefer any negotiations to be as simple and straightforward as possible The whole notion of numismatics makes my head hurt, but to each their own brbrGreat channel!
Comment from : @ScrutinousOne

I just subbed your channel Great vid I fairly new to collecting coins and find I like the proof coins better Not necessarily for any resale value but more for my own visual pleasure if that makes sense I do have some regular bullion silver eagles though so I can see the benefit in getting silver closer to spot
