Where have all the Proof Cents gone?

Postby amalekidad » Thu Nov 03, 2011 11:37 pm

I sort half dollars and pennies. On average I find 1 proof coin per 1000 halves sorted.
I have sorted hundreds of thousands of cents and have found only 1 proof and 1 Indian Head. :P
I understand the low percentage on the Indian Heads. What is the deal with the proof cents :?:

Where have all the Proof Cents gone :?:

Thanks

Only eight in three years of sorting about $200 + on the low side a week.

I just found my first one this YEAR (1973-S) and I sort quite a bit more than $200.00 per week. I have found many more Indian head cents than I have proof cents.
