Coin Collecting/Buying

You can buy the cases on Amazon for next to nothing.
I have a 1991 silver eagle that sits here on my desk.
No specific reason, I just think they're gorgeous.

I also drag money home from all the other countries we visit, once again, just because I admire the art. I buy plastic bill holders to put them in.

US Mint is there to make money. I won't say anything bad, cause you already found the answer. You can find brilliant uncirculated coins anywhere, including the bank for face value.
Proofs are different. They're double struck, super fine, and really completely unnecessary.
And that's not what you're getting.
