Jadey Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 02/11/2019 8:02 pm I would like an opinion on this coin. It is toned/tarnished, and possibly shows some light wear, but it also shows some PL. I've tried to capture that with a reflection, but can't quite do it justice. My initial impression was that it is a proof coin. Once I saw the NGC reference showing a mintage of 23 for the proof, I became less convinced (but still hopefull). Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 02/12/2019 11:59 am It does appear to be a proof, and I don't see any obvious signs of wear, so I'll venture PR-65. Report this Post to the Staff
Jadey Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 02/12/2019 7:25 pm That would be something. I hope to hear some other opinions as well. Report this Post to the Staff
Loruca Valued Member Canada 242 Posts	Posted 02/12/2019 8:12 pm No, sorry not a proof! The proofs really jump out at you, also nowhere near 65... The fields are pretty impaired. I would be almost tempted to relegate it to AU 58, but the lack of wear on the eagle's satin finish pushes me to say a technical 62. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36744 Posts	Posted 02/13/2019 11:02 am I agree, a proof-like AU-58. Report this Post to the Staff
