A "proof" coin, made for collectors, is manufactured using highly polished planchets and multiple strikes and is handled with care during the minting process. This is the coin that is only worth $19.95 and is the dog? Right?

A "mint state" coin is from the standard production run and is banged, dumped, bagged and generally abused while in the posession of the Mint. This is the coin I want to pay $104.00 for? Because it was not made or handled with the care a proof was so it is more desireable. RIGHT? So the closer it looks like a proof but IS NOT a proof the more it is worth. If it is really a proof and better quality it is not desireable?
