Aref Valued Member United Arab Emirates 170 Posts	Posted 09/27/2022 2:39 pm What if it's a circulated proof without the S mint mark? Report this Post to the Staff
nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 2359 Posts	Posted 09/27/2022 2:48 pm then you have a lot of work ahead of you to prove it Report this Post to the Staff
Nycstlrr Valued Member United States 116 Posts	Posted 09/27/2022 2:51 pm As Coinfrog said, there were no proofs made at Philadelphia. Proof coins were made at San Francisco and would have the S mint mark. This is just a circulation strike coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Aref Valued Member United Arab Emirates 170 Posts	Posted 09/27/2022 3:45 pm @nick10, that was my question. What ways are there to prove that this is a proof coin. I don't even know if this a proof or a regular strike coin. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 10680 Posts	Posted 09/27/2022 3:49 pm The coin in question doesn't have a mint mark, meaning it was struck in Philly. If it had a S mint mark (San Francisco), it would be a proof. Another give away is the look of the rim--doesn't look as 'squared' as a proof would be. In sum (and in my opinion), the coin is a business strike Philly cent, not a proof. Report this Post to the Staff
Aref Valued Member United Arab Emirates 170 Posts	Posted 09/27/2022 4:35 pm @ijn1944, I agree. Report this Post to the Staff
