It's interesting that you refer to that 1989 MORs as an "impaired proof". Over the years I have found several MORs (mainly 1984 and 1991) that are worn yet have "underlying lustre" which made me wonder it they started off their lives as proofs.  |

In my opinion "underlying lustre" sounds a little too broad for proofs, but just for the record I use the term "impaired proof" to describe a "circulated proof" coin.

What makes you think that 1989 coin came out of a proof set and not an uncirculated mint set?

Simple: the 1989 coin still has a lot of shiny remnants that look like it started out as a proof. Uncirculated coins don't have these shiny remnants. I can attach a comparison pic if you want ...

Hard to get a good photo of it though to convince people who haven't seen a coin like that "in the flesh". Edited by MachinMachinMan

As requested by crab eater, here is a comparison pic of the aforementioned circulated 1989 $1 proof with a lightly circulated 1984 $1.   Edited by OzCollection

OzCollection, as I said in the post above yours, I know exactly what you mean and have several coins like that.

Thanks for the pic OzCollection, I was hoping you were comparing two 1989 coins side by side, one uncirculated and one proof.
Both that have been found noodled.
That would surely show the difference.

WEEK 12(17/04/23 - 23/04/23) Unfortunately I have not had a lot of time to noodle but I have had time to purchase. This means that this week's coins have all been bought at a premium. Onto the Australian side first. I bought a 2021 letter P, letters G, R, and S from 2022, and an F from 2021 (not shown) to upgrade the previous stained one.  (enjoy the shininess before my PVC Amazon coin album begins the damage  Meanwhile foreign coins wise, I bought all these:  Stats:One dollar coins still to find: 19/41 (22) NCLT coins found: 5
