Thats the reason I didnt mention 1975. As soon as you hear 1975 no s you say yeah, right .
I did not need to see the date to know for certain that it was not an impaired proof. The "shine" is just from normal pocket circulation. |

Yeah, I saw the pic , take a look at the article I posted ...Also the spot under the e in liberty was the the same on the one found in the picture, so it lead me to think it was a higher possibility. It is actually pretty shiny in person, crappy camera phones dont show true colors like regular cameras do. But again, I'm sure your right.

I guess while I'm at it, and am learning about proof things Can you guys help me identify a proof edge on another circulated, proof coin? This one isn't nearly as rare but its about as old. Is this a proof edge or no?   |

There is no way to tell a circulated proof by looking at the edge. Proofs usually have a sharper edge on them, but I still find MS coins in circulation that have a razor edge on them.
And you might want to get some cotton gloves instead of using metal tweezers. Just one slip and you ruined the coin, if it had any premium.
You should go to a coin deal or coin show and look at proof sets, to see the reflective/mirror like surface to know it is a proof. After you study them for a bit, it'll be easy to recognize a proof coin found in circulation.

ugh can tell what a regular proof is. Just not circulated ones apparently. I'm asking because it is one identifying factor that I need to be aware of.

I think you are fooling yourself by calling it a circulated proof. Proof is a manufacturing process that puts a mirror like finish on the coin. Circulation won't do anything to the mirror finish, unless the coin is very worn.
The proper term is impaired proof and that is used only when the grade is below 60. You can still find proof coins in circulation, but they aren't impaired.

Besides the fact I'm not talking about the 1975 p business strike that I thought might have been a proof. Its pretty rude to start acting like I know nothing about a subject , saying things like ohhh thats not the right term. blah blah.if you read the thread, from the page one , you would probably stop acting like such a know it all.
