Dasaki Pillar of the Community United States 500 Posts	Posted 05/13/2014 06:43 am Was going through a stack of 60s cents I sat aside while CRH over the last few months, and this one just jumped out at me. The details are much stronger, the edge of the coin is solid all the way around, and the field is quite mirror-like. And a picture of the cent reflecting the texture of the blanket.

Yes to both accounts, and part of what made me think it was a proof as opposed to an AU business strike. Report this Post to the Staff

jack jeckel Pillar of the Community United States 5208 Posts	Posted 05/14/2014 12:28 am I would need better pics to be sure but the edge shot seems to show a deeper rim which would be a proof. In the hundred or so boxes of cents I have searched I have found maybe 5 modern S proofs and I copper LMC proof. Report this Post to the Staff
