jungliston1 Valued Member United States 305 Posts	Posted 02/13/2015 02:59 am Hello all, wondering your thoughts on this coin. I purchased it as a GEM Proof, but as I looked closer I think it might just be a well struck MS PL. Thank you for the help. Edward M. Report this Post to the Staff

I'be honestly found hundreds of BU 1963's coin roll hunting, they aren't that rare. Still, nice coin! Edited by ChildOfTheWheat 02/13/2015 08:32 am Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/13/2015 10:57 am It is a proof cent. Note the strength of the strike, the crispness of the devices. The coin was probably kept too long in the mint packaging. The surface has hazed. Here is a side by side: Report this Post to the Staff

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 02/13/2015 11:49 am Don't worry Child. I was thinking the same thing until John's comment redirected me to the rim. I've found several early 60s cents through CRH that I figured were BU-like business strikes. I may have to take another look at some. We live and learn. This place has tons of information and expertise to get us along the path. Report this Post to the Staff
