Either someone hates proofs or Maybe they dislike the person collecting this proof- either way its a shame since I can't add it to my colllection

this was the guy who had the 80 box skunk streak. District 11 or 12 as I recollect. Also the prisoners of skunksville's prison like to do this kind of stuff to.

I've gotten scratched up proofs and even proofs with marker on them... at least you can rub the marker off..

I've found many nice proof clad halves over the years, should I have kept them? My LCS wasn't interested.

Depends- I've seen sets of years 71-79 & 80-89 and such go for 3x fv on ebay- I'm just trying to collect a full set of decent ones for myself-

What might have happened is someone tried to stuff too many 2x2's into a box and the staples scratched up the coins... It's quite sad...

I don't guess I wish I could find more, I just wish I could find better shape ones.

I like finding them though; it doesn't feel like I got nothing in a bag/box.

I think you are right one scratch for each skunk.

What a pity to WASTE a proof coin as such. Wonder what happened to the rest of the set? I keep all mine that I find (any and all denomination s)
