Great looking coin! 65RB
The hubs/dies were fresh in 1910, I don't think it's a proof but just a business strike. You'll have to check the die markers.

Either way, I knew I was safe at 46 bucks after shipping...plus it is a big upgrade for my set. I'll get better pics when it arrives, we shall see.

 to CCF! This die scratch is one of the diagnostics for the matte proof. They point out that other scratches can be seen in this area, but they are due to a damaged master die. This scratch is seen only on the proof. You can find other diagnostic images online. The only way to be 100% sure if the coin is the matte proof would be to have it certified.  ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Ah okay, I'd been under the impression it was the die scratch that runs through the right leg of the m of unum. Either way it has a die scratch running off the left leg also. Regardless, the coin is worth encapsulated, so I'll probably send it off eventually anyways.

I've just never seen a business strike that had the graininess the surface of this coin has...I mean...it is covered in raised dots everywhere. Only thing I can say it reminds me of is some of the zincoins I've seen covered in tiny zinc bubbles.

KYCopperCoins wrote "the graininess the surface of this coin has...I mean...it is covered in raised dots everywhere" This could be indicative of a light cleaning as well. Am I the only one seeing small scratches in the fields of the reverse?  |

I am probably way too late to this post but the die scratch on the M on the reverse of the coin runs more EAST TO WEST FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SAME M IN UNUM AND GOES UP OVER THE E IN ONE NOT DOWN IN FRONT I WILL ATTEMPT TO GET A PHOTO POSTED FOR REFERENCE do you still have the coin? Just curious if you found out anything about it since posting it.

The rims are what interests me. Do appear to be fully squared.
Let us know what you found out!
