I'd characterize that linear defect on LIBERTY as a scratch.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96317 Posts	Posted 01/23/2023 8:05 pm Also the simple fact that this coin was minted in Denver, precludes it as being a 'proof' coin. Denver never minted any proof coins at all. Initially Philadelphia produced them, now it is San Francisco and West point. As for any errors on this coin - I see none (unless you include the person that decided to polish it). There are lots of circulation flattening and the devices are rounded - most likely due to the polishing it suffered. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Ondiwave Valued Member United States 275 Posts	Posted 01/26/2023 8:10 pm Got it! But I never thought it was a proof. that's obvious from the Denver mint mark- I said "proof like " shine. Which makes perfect sense if thats from polishing! Thanks!!! :-) Edited by Ondiwave 01/26/2023 8:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96317 Posts	Posted 01/26/2023 8:23 pm Ah, ok I see what you are saying there. I must have misread the first entry, and followed all the other sheep into the pen.
