Dasaki Pillar of the Community United States 500 Posts	Posted 04/14/2015 02:51 am I just can't seem to make up my mind on this one... Of course, I have trouble figuring this out on a LOT of S mint SBAs. The frosted effect is more noticeable out of direct light, but my camera sucks in anything less than that. I'm leaning towards type-1 proof myself but thought I's ask the experts. Oh, and is there any easy way to tell the difference between business strike and proof strike 79 and 80 S-mint SBAs? I have nearly two rolls of them that I can't seem to make up my mind on proof or spenders Report this Post to the Staff

If it was a proof, you would be able to see the cameo devices contrasting against the deep mirrored fields. I'm not seeing that in the photos. However, I am seeing some very nice overall luster.

My judgment based on the lack of frosting on the devices.

Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5393 Posts	Posted 04/14/2015 11:27 am Filled S business strike. Go to a local shop and compare to the ones in the proof set of the same year the difference is night and day. Report this Post to the Staff
