Humanist1287 Pillar of the Community United States 1107 Posts	Posted 05/02/2025 06:31 am Is this a proof coin? Canada did proof coins, right? I found this in a Lincoln Cent roll. It has a lot of luster, and essentially a mirror-like look to it. *Dansco 8100 Lincoln cents Liberty "V" nickels Jefferson nickels 1938-current Buffalo nickels Roosevelt Dimes Eisenhower/Anthony dollars** Report this Post to the Staff

1960NYGiants Pillar of the Community United States 666 Posts	Posted 05/02/2025 09:42 am The 1965 cent looks to be a proof-like strike. Many of these were cut out of the pliofilm sets to get the silver. Canada didn't start producing proofs until 1981. LM of RCNA Member of CATC Report this Post to the Staff
Humanist1287 Pillar of the Community United States 1107 Posts	Posted 05/02/2025 4:04 pm Thanks, jbuck! Here's the reverse. It certainly does look pretty proof-like to me. Regardless if it is or it isn't, it's still a beautiful coin. *Dansco 8100 Lincoln cents Liberty "V" nickels Jefferson nickels 1938-current Buffalo nickels Roosevelt Dimes Eisenhower/Anthony dollars** Report this Post to the Staff

johnnysprawl Pillar of the Community Canada 1618 Posts	Posted 05/02/2025 4:28 pm I think it's a circulation strike, as it looks like there are some bag marks on her neck and behind her hair. Report this Post to the Staff
