BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4587 Posts	Posted 06/01/2025 07:36 am OP, you are also confusing the proof coinage with the subsequent usage of the die for business strikes. PCGS' estimated survival of business strikes is 3,000. https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin...ectionRarity It can be difficult to see the L on lower-grade coins, but the rounded bust point (vs. the sharp point of your coin) is also a diagnostic. https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin...onze-bn/2076 Read Jaime Hernandez's and Ron Guth's notes about the proof version of this coin and David Hall's notes on the business strikes on the above-referenced pages. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 06/01/2025 09:31 am One has to wonder how many of these 'one and done' new posters are the actually counterfeiters testing their 'works'. Now they know what needs to be fixed I gather. I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

RedRaider Pillar of the Community United States 1018 Posts	Posted 06/01/2025 1:21 pm I dont think this guy is a counterfeiter, but after all of his "research" claims, he still doesn't know the basics for looking at identifiable diagnostics of these coins. When he mentioned that there are die states and "Doubling" that make for variants on the 64L proof, he lost all credibility that he knows what he is talking about. These are famous coins, there is tons of information on them online. Report this Post to the Staff
jpsned Pillar of the Community United States 2200 Posts	Posted 06/01/2025 7:18 pm It's odd how the OP said several times that he had done his research and has a lot of expertise on his side, while his original post was "So what do you think is this a cameo, what exactly do I have here, and is it valuable". Something's off. Report this Post to the Staff
