daremonkee Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 03/28/2021 6:45 pm I have these two beautiful IHCs, but I'm not 100% on whether they are PF or MS. The 1886 has a deep red brown and is very reflective of the Red in certain light. The details almost look cameo like and the lettering and date are more flat than round. It appears to have a weak strike on the obverse. The 1909 has a rainbow around the rim and more red in the center. The lettering and date are all flat. The reverse is very reflective and shiny red and appears to have a strikethrough right in the center. Probably going to acetone bath the 1909 since it looks like it may have some growies. They both look way better in hand and I can't really see any defects under microscope. Can anyone give me some insight as to whether these are business or proof strikes? Guesses at grades?

psuman08 Pillar of the Community United States 1788 Posts	Posted 03/29/2021 10:18 am These are circ strikes. The reverse of the 1st is weakly struck. You wouldn't see that on a proof coin. Report this Post to the Staff
