Kacinicole17 Valued Member United States 82 Posts	Posted Today 9H 25M ago I can try to add more photos if needed, tried to add a few dif lighting ones but for some reason this site wants to add photos in directions they weren't uploaded as and no option to fix it. Recently was told that they thought it was a proof coin but I can't tell the dif in them vs ones in decent shape still so thought I'd ask for your opinions since very knowledgeable people here. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11952 Posts	Posted Today 8H 53M ago Not a proof. MS63 imho. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18829 Posts	Posted Today 2H 25M ago even with the lighting I think the coin had a light dip at some point. I dont think there is enough there for a 64 grade so I'm at MS63. i would not solicit any assessments in the future from the person that told you it was a proof. it can take a while to get your settings and find the best environment to take photos. once thing you do want to avoid is overhead lighting as it creates glare and obscures the surfaces. there is an entire forum focused on photography if you are interested in taking better photos https://goccf.com/f/81 Report this Post to the Staff
CoinForMe Pillar of the Community United States 2342 Posts	Posted Today 1H 11M ago Many years ago, this one might have been in circulation for a little while. It does not have that eye-popping appeal to me; although it's that bad a coin, I'm at MS63. Report this Post to the Staff
