Proof vs. Brilliant Uncirculated
Many collectors expect the PROOF edition of a commemorative coin to be a more limited mintage than the Uncirculated version of the same coin - and this is often the case. However, in some situations, US Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) Commemoratives are actually scarcer than their Proof counterparts – and savvy collectors know this! Such is the case with this 2005 US Marine Corps Silver Dollar. The total mintage of the 2005 Proof version is ELEVEN TIMES LARGER than this beautiful BU edition. This ‘insider’ fact means that the 2005 Marine Corps BU Dollar will always be sought after by those collectors looking for the more scarce and hard-to-find coin!
Since 1981, Collectible America has procured rare coins, secured bullion, and struck medallions for the American numismatic public as an independent private mint, not affiliated with the United States Government. This independence provides the cornerstone for our commitment to excellence in both product and service, and, most important, it guarantees to our customers essential rights and complete satisfaction.
