PR62, lack of luster, square rims, definitely said proof when I saw it.

Doc has shown us his incredible proof collection in the past, so I'll go with PR-63

This actually has a lot of luster and a very pronounced cartwheel effect. Some darken the photos so one can see the chatter easier because it's hard to grade gold. I'm going to let this go a couple more hours just to let the west coast people guess. I was able to see a handful of other photos before purchasing which I should've put into a folder. a spectrum of guesses so far.

Jeez, if this is a proof surface on an unmolested gold coin of this era, then no wonder I was never tempted.  Edited by Coinfrog

Well Coinfrog.. since I put it on after 10pm EST and there's only been 22 views since then and I'm at least 2 of those views... your wish is my command. I'll give it a couple days for those who haven't seen it yet. I thought I gave it a fair time based on the responses from the last one I did. You're right though more time should be given to those who haven't guessed and since only a few have scrolled through since 10 pm the cat isn't out of the bag for them yet. No spoilers to allow for the new viewers to guess.

Proofs are very rare but I suppose it's possible. Dr. Burnzy has some pretty high-end stuff....
My guess would be a business strike, very light circulation, and the "old reverse" style which is valued higher than the "new" reverse type. So, AU-58.
If it's a proof the value goes up by 10X, or more.

I'll join the proof crowd at PR-62.
