- A friend of mine bought a low grade 1880 (super scarce date). He sent it to ANACS to get certified. They said that coin had them stumped. Everyone on the grading floor that day looked at that coin because they had a very hard time attributing it. Hard to believe but they determined it to be a PR6. That's right! A Proof Good 6! He ended up sending it back to the seller because he had marked it as a business strike on his listing. So my friend got refunded. Even in that grade, it would have been a $2k++ coin but as a proof, nobody wants it. I never met a "Lowball Proof" collector yet but I guess that's possible!A friend of mine bought a low grade 1880 (super scarce date). He sent it to ANACS to get certified.

- RyanG super cool story! why am I tempted to assemble some low grade proofs now just for the fun of looking for them lol[RyanG] super cool story! why am I tempted to assemble some low grade proofs now just for the fun of looking for them lol
- Zach150 You would be the first ever low ball Proof collector! That's actually kinda cool. It would certainly be a massive challenge. It's rare to find proofs in low circ grades[Zach150] You would be the first ever low ball Proof collector! That's actually kinda cool. It would certainly be a massive challenge.

- RyanG go table to table at every coin show I go to and just ask, do you have any old proofs that have circulated and probably get a ton of weird looks but might find some lol[RyanG] go table to table at every coin show I go to and just ask, do you have any old proofs that have circulated and probably get a ton of weird looks but might find some lol
- RyanG I find the 1877 1c Indians inserting for proofs. They is one graded in grades 6, 8, 10, 15 and 2 in 30. I am sure this is people hoping for a low grade MS.[RyanG] I find the 1877 1c Indians inserting for proofs. They is one graded in grades 6, 8, 10, 15 and 2 in 30.

- ToddPollock Yes, and especially the 1880. This is why it's important to buy key dates like the 1880 certified because the proof is a lot more common than the business strike. In low grades it can be almost impossible to tell them apart.[ToddPollock] Yes, and especially the 1880.
