jnorlund New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted 05/25/2013 8:07 pm As I have started to get into collecting, I determined I really like coins with deep cameo. I found a lot of 10 coins on another site at a great price and figured there had to be at least a few in there. Besides the fact that nearly all have that deep cam effect , this was in the group. My scanner is not the greatest at the moment, but hopefully you get the idea. Not sure if people are faking these but any reason not to think it's the real deal? Looks practically a gold color.

muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7186 Posts	Posted 05/25/2013 9:10 pm The cent you have shown is a Denver minted piece and the Denver mint does not issue proof coins. Your cent may be highly polished but it is hard to tell from your photo. Report this Post to the Staff
