That's what I have to go on for now. I think I'll get it Monday! If not it's not going to be a huge loss.

Make sure you take better pics when you have the coin in hand . I'm leaning towards a proof .

Too me, looks like it may have had a buffing. Nice looking piece, nonetheless.

Looks like someone took a buffing wheel to it. Hope it works out.

I did some looking around and found two more coins up for auction that are definitely proofs. They're listed as bu. I'm not giving and hints on what they are but other people have spotted them too.

This one ended up being an impaired proof. I took a pic so you could see the scratches on the obverse. Do you guys think this is worth the $7 I spent on it?

I think so, though PF Unc Details Harshly Cleaned and Scratched. A cheap hole filler for the time being.

Agree, impaired proof...it's not that bad though. Worth $7, maybe....with only ~32k minted, they don't grow on trees.

I mentioned that there were two more proofs up for auction. I only got one. There was one other person who knew what they were. This one looks frosty. I'll create a new post and good pics when I get it in hand!
