rlu7732 Valued Member United States 246 Posts	Posted 09/28/2025 5:12 pm Is this considered proof like? I can clearly read 58 on the ticket in person. I tried to capture that in a photo. Report this Post to the Staff

Marve65 Pillar of the Community United States 7266 Posts	Posted 09/28/2025 8:20 pm Proof like is because of the reflectivity in the fields - your pictures don't show anything definitive so hard to tell. Report this Post to the Staff

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3836 Posts	Posted 09/29/2025 12:36 pm Reverse is PL, obverse is not. Both sides need to show prooflike quality for the coin to be designated as prooflike. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

Dearborn Moderator United States 77073 Posts	Posted 09/29/2025 9:31 pm yes, it is 'proof-like But that obverse toning looks 'forced'. Collecting since 1972.

Hondo Boguss Bedrock of the Community United States 20693 Posts	Posted 09/30/2025 4:12 pm Does anyone know what causes that ring of toning on the obverse? I see it frequently and assume that it's artificial. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

Normally I would say album toning, but this looks different. Quote: I see it frequently and assume that it's artificial. What really matters is whether or not this example is market acceptable.

I bought it in it's original presentation box, felted cardboard & a plastic capsule ( since removed ) ... notice the similar effect ... (sorry for the poor pic, but you can see the similarity) Report this Post to the Staff
