Dear mandalorepez,

Hi, NICE coin!

But, with no disrespect, how do you know it's a proof coin?

Let me know please. I'm very interested!

Dear moe145,

None taken, The proof finish is really tough to translate in to pictures for my camera. Without question, the light dances around flashy fields. It's definitely a proof. I do offer a no questions asked return policy as well. I understand your concerns, but wouldn't list a raw coin as a proof unless I was 100% sure. Thanks for your interest.

Todd

I'm inclined to look favorably on it. The images aren't great, but his selling record is and he's offering a lot of proofs. This year's proof isn't a great premium over a business strike; this coin shouldn't reach $300.

I wish the pictures were better. I am leaning towards proof based on the denticles. He does have a return policy so in hand you might be able to make the determination - for the right price, of course!
