There is a difference between proof grade coins, and bullion coins. Just like there is a difference between collectors that are hobby numismatists and those that are investors in collectible coins for profit. As a coin collector, this can affect silver coin value because bullion coins are minted from the precious metal for the investment quality value of the metal, where proof grade coins derive their value from their state of near perfection and from the rarity that results from being a near perfect coin. Since the value of proof coins rest on rarity and artistic value, they are more popular with hobby coin collectors.
When it comes to proof coins, "proof" refers to a special minting process that is made especially for coin collectors, and because they are collectible coins you won't see in circulation, they are sold by the mint for more than face value, when they are first "proofed". While modern proof quality collectible coins have become more defined with mirror-like fields and frosted reliefs, there were some proof quality coins that were minted for collectors prior to the mid-twentieth century that featured high quality surfaces using the standard minting process.
As you compare bullion silver coin value, you have to realize that the value is determined by the market prices of the ounce of silver, and in the case of gold bullion coin value, it is the investment value of the gold that is used in the coin. They are not collectible coins based on their high quality and definition, but rather the collection of these coins is based on the investment value of the precious metals it contains. When you are comparing bullion coins to collectible proof coins, the value of a particular issue, for example, a 2010 American silver Eagle can vary dramatically different based upon it's grade. This is because most hobby collectors are interested in proof minted collectible coins for speculation purposes. However, because they are sold at more than face value, and often for much more than the investment value of the precious metal content itself, the silver coin value or gold coin value can be vary widely.
When you are entering the field of numismatics or coin collecting, you need to understand the difference in buying and selling of collectible coins. There is a difference between collectors that invest in bullion collectible coins, and collectors interested in proof minted specimens that are so popular with hobby collectors because they can demand much higher prices. The recent state quarter proofing is a prime example of the difference, where the quarters are presented as collectible coins, even though there are many almost uncirculated, state quarter specimens available, and they have no silver coin value attached. That doesn't mean that there were not hobby collectors that didn't belong to clubs where they bought proof quality state quarters for close to $50 each.
On the other hand, proof minted coins have an investment quality that is far greater than bullion coins based on the precious metals market behind them. It is a matter of what segment of coin collecting you are interested in and how long you plan to hold onto the collectible coins that can determine your success at coin collecting for investment purposes or to make a profit. It is important that you understand the grading process and the differences in proof collecting versus bullion collecting for investment, whether for hobby or making large profits. Both can be quite interesting, but graded proof minted coins are worth the most.

Proof of Life (DVD) $21.17 Around the world, between 20,000 and 50,000 people are kidnapped each year. In Taylor Hackford`s suspense-filled adventure film, American businessman Peter Bowman (David Morse) is traveling in a Latin American country when a group of criminals take him as their hostage and hold him for ransom. The megacorporation he works for sends in an expert hostage negotiator, Terry Thorne (Russell Crowe), to settle on a ransom with the kidnappers, an antigovernment faction. Thorne earns the reluctant trust of Bowman`s wife, Alice (Meg Ryan), and begins trying to win Bowman`s freedom, but conflict with Bowman`s employers, missteps with the kidnappers, and Thorne`s growing attraction to Alice threaten to derail his efforts. Crowe and Ryan are excellent as thrown-together allies under pressure, and Morse`s descent from collected businessman to desperate hostage anchors the film. Watch for former NYPD BLUE sensation David Caruso as Crowe`s partner. PROOF OF LIFE is based on an article entitled "Adventures in the Ransom Trade," written by William Prochnau, which was published in the May 1998 issue of Vanity Fair magazine. |

Stress Proof the Heart $79.95 Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death throughout the world. Chronic negative emotions such as depression and anxiety place cardiac patients at greater risk for death and recurrence of cardiovascular disease. In 2008 the editor published a book related to this topic, titled Psychotherapy with Cardiac Patients: Behavioral Cardiology in Practice (American Psychological Association). Aside from that book, there are very few resources specifically written for clinicians who treat psychologically distressed cardiac patients. Unlike other medical specialty areas such as oncology, the field of cardiology has been slow to integrate behavioral treatments into the delivery of service. Perhaps because the field has been largely defined and dominated by researchers, mental health clinicians are only starting to recognize behavioral cardiology as a viable arena in which to practice. There is a large void in the practitioner literature on behavioral cardiology. In a review of Psychotherapy with Cardiac Patients, Paul Efthim, Ph.D. wrote, "Her new book goes well beyond previous works by giving specific and detailed guidance about how to tailor psychological interventions with this variegated population. " He added, "It would benefit from even more details about treatment approaches." This proposed volume goes beyond the editor's previous volume by providing in-depth descriptions of behavioral treatments for distressed cardiac patients written by eminent leaders in behavioral cardiology. This book describes a wide range of behavioral treatments for the common psychologically based problems encountered by clinicians who treat cardiac patients. The book is organized as follows: Part I focuses on the most psychologically challenging and common presentations of cardiac diagnosis; coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, and heart failure. This section also includes a chapter on heart transplantation, which is a treatment, not a diagnosis, but a treatment that incurs profound psychological impact for the individual. In Part II, behavioral interventions for the general cardiac population are described. Mainstream therapies such as stress management, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and medical family therapy are described, along with approaches that have less empirical support but considerable practical significance such as personality-guided therapy and interventions aimed at altering type D personality traits. The literature in behavioral cardiology has a rich history of investigating maladaptive personality traits and thus it is important to include behavioral approaches that target personality in this volume. Part III focuses on common behavioral problems encountered by clinicians who work with this patient population. Most patients who seek psychological help do so because they perceive themselves to be stressed due to their job or overextended in all areas of their life. Other people with heart disease present with sleep proble |

Telepathy: Its Theory, Facts, and Proof $12.88 Telepathy: Its Theory, Facts, and Proof discusses the theme of telepathy and its existence. Focusing on proving that telepathy is real, author W.W. Atkinson first defines his subject, telepathy, and goes on to describe a series of scientific experiments and their results to theorize that telepathy is real and useful. While focusing on the realm of the otherworldly and therefore introducing debate, Atkinson's work is enjoyable to read either for pleasure or study, and as always he includes useful examples and stories for the reader to follow. American writer WILLIAM WALKER ATKINSON (1862-1932) was editor of the popular magazine New Thought from 1901 to 1905, and editor of the journal Advanced Thought from 1916 to 1919. He authored dozens of New Thought books under numerous pseudonyms, including "Yogi," some of which are likely still unknown today. |
