Yea a proof found in circulation is still a proof but with the dings and scratches would bring any grade down possibly below the 60 mark I would venture that's a PR-55 at best by your pix, very unnecessary to send in, buy a new PR67 for $3 if you want, save yourself $20 fees and mailing.
I have found four separate years of proofs CRHing, all in terrible shape unfortunately. People(dealers/collectors) toss in the "impaired" proofs they crack out of sets into circulation or just relatives of Grandpa's passed down collection "cash it in"...
Gives us CRHers a thrill...

Do they assign actual grades to circulated proofs? Yup. In terms of wear, they would be graded the same as a non-proof coin, only the prefix in circulated grades would always be PR. As for the coin in question, it is quite hard tell what the grade is from those pictures. Nice find though! |

Nice find! I've only found a few over years of searching. It's not worth much being impaired, may like 10 cents....but still a great find!

excellent find..if I were you i'd use it as a pocket piece..believe it or not it may have more collector value worn down to PF-20 than at it's current state.
Feel free to call me Will.

It's impaired, not worth to get graded.

A pocket piece is a coin you carry around, but don't spend, usually just to enjoy looking at or showing to others that ask about the hobby. They usually get quite worn over the years.

Lelah, there's a bunch of folks on here that are quite proud of their PO-1 or FR-2 well worn pocket pieces, these nuts actually collect them in this worn state!  This is Chute72's  http://goccf.com/t/173203 Edited by Crazyb0

That reminds me that I'm due for a monthly Pocket Piece exam. It won't be spectacular. If I can get mine to look like Chute's it will certainly be an achievement.  Quote:
