Titles are Important! * Found this 1960 old shiny coin in my penny bag so not sure how long I've had it but it definitely stands out. I've never seen a proof coin just started getting into this hobby so can someone give me some info? * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

You can at times find one in circulation, but thatats from someone putting it there, by intention or not knowing, not very often. I've found 3 out of 750,000+ searched thru. Proofs have polished fields, rims are square and even thickness all around. Edited by Crazyb0 02/22/2018 02:24 am Report this Post to the Staff
