Battersea Dogs Home New Member United Kingdom 34 Posts	Posted 11/12/2013 10:58 pm Do you win the lottery on a recurring basis? The matte proofs were made for photographic purposes to eliminate reflections by sandblasting the dies. The fact that you can see the flash reflection should tell you it isn't a sandblasted surface. The mint will have produced one or two at most, but any enterprising individual could produce one if they so wished. This is a case where provenance would be everything. Report this Post to the Staff

Strange toning on your coin. Report this Post to the Staff
