jbuck Moderator United States 188208 Posts	Posted 07/09/2015 09:21 am Nice find! The photo does not prove it is proof, but it does not say it is not either. I am leaning towards proof because the surface seems reflective and the rims seem square. Better photos would remove all doubt. That being said, the photos are good for the first time. Much better than my first efforts. Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff

cmajlz Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 07/09/2015 6:42 pm Glare is definitely a problem for me. I'm using my cell phone and I'm at a loss as to how to best handle the lighting. The pictures do not do the coin justice. If I could get a decent picture You would see how good a coin it is. It is slightly circulated si I don't think it is full steps but close to it. I'll practice more over the weekend. Report this Post to the Staff
