    Given the *non*-eBay prices, it looks like they're worth it, at least to me.

    Have to take into consideration what they are: branded rounds.


    Don't know the mintages, though didn't look hard enough at the time & haven't checked in a while.


    Here's something for an idea of a possible mintage range, info from last March..

    Apmex is having a sale on the proofs..

    About $6 USD over the BU's.


    Cheapest I've seen 'em so far.

    Got mine in today!


    My take: Skip the BU, and spend the extra $6 or whatever for the proof.. Which is way nicer, IMO.

    The BU is just too plain & sterile, in comparison.


    I've got a lousy camera, but there's a YouTube video out there on the proof.


    My 1st Silver Shield stuff.. Pretty decent quality for a branded generic. Would consider other proofs.
