Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2135 Posts	Posted 12/30/2013 11:38 am I don't think you can ever be sure from pictures. It's easy to take a photo of a proof so that it looks like a non-proof BU coin, and harder but possible to make a BU look like a proof. Photos of impaired proofs frequently look like circulation issues. I would normally look for uniformity of a glossy or mirror finish in the field. This does not look like a proof to me.

NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 18031 Posts	Posted 12/30/2013 1:55 pm I agree with Pertinax and Milou - it can be tricky telling a proof from a non-proof gold coin, but to me this looks like a normal circulation strike. Beautiful coin though, mashisback! My Trade List: https://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: https://goccf.com/t/191710 Edited by NumisRob 12/30/2013 1:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff
