Very Nice!

What are the green spots all over the coin?

I'm at PR64 on this one!
Maybe back then a PR63 but I'm betting it's a 64 today!

My guess is PR63 but the (PVC damage?) looks scary.

Looks better than a 62 but not quite good enough for 64 so PR-63 would be my choice

Proof details - PVC?
I have no clue. This isn't any area I collect. Just taking a guess and learning here.

interesting
its not PVC damage, just the way the toning evolved on the surface
its not a proof, its a business strike
there was a reuse of the proof dies to make business strikes and the devices are as bright as they are due to what was most likely a polishing of the dies
the date on the coin is weakly struck
reveal will come, we'll see more guesses now that there was the reveal of the strike type

MS-62
That toning is really odd.

That toning is really odd you're seeing it through diffused lighting. I'll post some pics of the coin on regular cam shots in the slab when I post the reveal and you'll see how its reflects as an ocean electric green in the light. I sold an 1883 dime to Moe145 here on the CCF over the summer and it had this same type of "blotchy" and erratic tone spots similar to this one. |

I honestly thought it was a proof and was going to guess PR-63 CAM.
