After looking at some pics at PCGS and Heritage, I'm leaning towards circulation strike. The proofs I saw had sharp ribbon and extra outlines around the arrows. Of course these could be polished off over time. Send it in and updated us.

What Conder101 said. With 75% of the strike being "for circulation", that's an extremely high proof to circulation ratio.

My question is: is the value substantially different in this grade (if indeed that's even why you're asking)? Or is it just curiosity.

My knee jerk was business, but I'm honestly not sure there's a way to tell? Watching and learning (this is what I come to CC for!)


Die Varieties: None verified.
Scarcity: Business strikes are rare in circulated grades, very rare in mint states and extremely rare in MS65 and above. Proof are rare up through PR66 and extremely rare in PR67 and above.
