BudLattes New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 01/07/2021 12:36 am I found this beauty going through some change from a locker my brother bought. Its SUPER shiny. Pretty sure its a proof, but wasn't in anything. I'm having terrific luck finding nice coins the last week! Report this Post to the Staff

BudLattes New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 01/07/2021 7:23 pm Im positive it's a proof. The pictures really don't do it any justice. It was in between some papers, I guess to protect it. Still, I'm ecstatic with it. Report this Post to the Staff
