Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 01/30/2011 1:10 pm Is there a way to determine if this is a proof or not? There is a big difference in a mintage of 20,000 vs 730,000. Interesting coin in the fact that it is concave. Not sure if I care for the toning or not, but it's kinda growing on me.

Angielczyk Valued Member Israel 423 Posts	Posted 01/30/2011 2:06 pm I have the same coin (not proof) and without toning. An interesting fact that I learned when I met somebody from the Bank of Ireland some years back is that the coin is considered unlucky since it is the only Irish coin that does not have a harp on the reverse.

Meldercat Valued Member Canada 268 Posts	Posted 01/30/2011 6:43 pm Nice coin. Love the toning. At least there is a harp on the case. Report this Post to the Staff

Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 01/31/2011 12:04 pm Anybody? Think it's safe to assume it's a proof because of the case? I'm with you on this svslav, I think the reverse toning is acceptable, maybe even attractive. But, I just don't care for the obverse toning. Report this Post to the Staff

weavus135 Pillar of the Community United States 539 Posts	Posted 01/31/2011 6:57 pm I have got to believe that the case is a really good indication. However, as you note, the toning could make it hard to really determine one way or the other. I've since looked up a few of these and that one must have really been in some interesting atmospheric conditions to get that way. Report this Post to the Staff
