0xDA71D Pillar of the Community United States 1215 Posts	Posted 12/27/2014 11:37 pm Is there such a thing? What's the lowest an impaired proof can get? If you own one, can you post a picture? Report this Post to the Staff

hcmusicguy Pillar of the Community United States 814 Posts	Posted 12/27/2014 11:47 pm I think several people on here carry proofs as pocket pieces. Hopefully some will chime in. Report this Post to the Staff
Canadian-Banknotes Pillar of the Community Canada 4944 Posts	Posted 12/27/2014 11:52 pm Proofs can grade anywhere from PR-01 to PR-70. Here are a few examples I found on Heritage, there are currently 1,837 proofs graded PR-01 to PR-58 in their archives. http://coins.ha.com/itm/trade-dolla...4035-11481.s http://coins.ha.com/itm/gobrecht-do...1352-26641.s http://coins.ha.com/itm/shield-nick.../1206-3352.s http://coins.ha.com/itm/three-cent-.../1177-7732.s Edited by Canadian-Banknotes 12/27/2014 11:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
0xDA71D Pillar of the Community United States 1215 Posts	Posted 12/28/2014 12:04 am Thanks for sharing, Canadian-Banknotes! I'm surprised that rim ding did not qualify it for a details grade. Now... is there a Pr01? Edited by 0xDA71D 12/28/2014 12:06 am Report this Post to the Staff

The Silver Searcher Pillar of the Community United States 1388 Posts	Posted 12/28/2014 12:41 pm We know that the above pieces are proofs because they are proof only dates. Is there any way to tell a circulated Philly proof (not proof only date) from a circulated regular issue? Report this Post to the Staff

Is there any way to tell a circulated Philly proof (not proof only date) from a circulated regular issue? With Morgan dollars you could look for VAM attributes. I'm sure there are varities on other series as well to identify a low grade proof. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 12/28/2014 3:53 pm Most Proofs are of such low mintage that only one or two die pairs are used, and the minute die markers which survive circulation help to identify. Trouble is, if those dies end up doing Business Strikes as well, it's not nearly as easy to decide the coin was a Proof strike originally or not. Regardless of how sure the TPG seems to be.
