Can't see any difference on the Obv. between a proof and one coined for circulation. Since the coin you displayed has seen some wear and proofs were coined in Philly that year, how can one tell it's not a proof that found its way into circulation Report this Post to the Staff

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 11/24/2006 12:07 pm Here are the comparisons for the type B Proof Reverse The type A circulation Reverse is a low relief the ES almost touch and the adjacent leaf extends only to the top arrow point,, on the type B the relief is higher and the ES are apart the adjacent leaf extends above the top arrow point. these type B reverse coins can be found on coins from 1956-64 . This info is from Walter Breens encyclopedia of US coins. Based on these descriptors, the pictured coin is a type B Reverse. Rick Edited by Metalman 11/24/2006 12:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
