JDRMCB Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 10/30/2017 06:45 am I would say that this coin is a very well struck business strike, because it doesn't exhibit the wide, evenly squared off rims that early matte proof cents are known to have. But still, a very nice coin nonetheless! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/30/2017 2:41 pm Here is a business strike example: Here is a matte proof example: The rims and the detail freshness are what determines which is which. The Matte proof rim edges are sharp, the business strike ones are more rounded. Edited by coop 10/30/2017 2:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
