Found a new coin store on my way back from a work meeting today... Was browsing everything, bought some great upgrades at great prices. Came across this lil guy in a 1.5x1.5 flip and for some reason the thickness of this coin and the look just stood out to me even though I already had that hole filled in MS Condition. I had to buy it. Paid next to nothing for it... I am doing some research, and the rim just looks too proof like to me, I may just be honestly daydreaming and wishfully thinking beyond belief. Thoughts?    |

You mention 'thickness'. How much does it weigh?

Close...but....
The outside edges of the rims should also be sharp edges. I have one of these as well. MS and probably one of the early die states.

I could only imagine if I found this and it turned out to be a cherrypicked proof! LOL... Ac, what do you think the grade is on this?

Nice looking coin. I would say MS63, but I'm not that good on grading copper.

if it was proof, it would be a gold mine. Don't think it is though
