Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 11/12/2015 8:49 pm If only that's what it was. If you could sell it for the same price as that PF-67+, that would be a 646,250% increase. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 11/12/2015 8:53 pm Yeah. IF. But still a chance it is proof? Report this Post to the Staff
Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 11/12/2015 9:05 pm Yeah, I'd say a chance, but don't get your hopes up. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 11/12/2015 9:05 pm I think it is a good business strike. Report this Post to the Staff
Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 11/12/2015 9:08 pm I agree. Even as a business strike, I think for $40 it was a good buy. That toning is spectacular. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 11/12/2015 9:11 pm I might end up selling it. I can't store it without it turning brown. (I think) Report this Post to the Staff
SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 11/12/2015 9:18 pm But I did want an estimate of the grade. Any ideas? Report this Post to the Staff
jdiablo30 Pillar of the Community United States 946 Posts	Posted 11/13/2015 06:37 am I think you can get a better understanding of what the "Orange peel effect" looks like if they didn't take a picture of the coin straight on. You need to see a high grade business strike and a proof strike in hand. Then you will be able to see the subtle differences in the mirror fields. The fields are literally rippled with the effect of the orange peel due to the dies being sandblasted. One of these days I will own a matte proof cent. Just probably not the VDB lol. Anyway wait until you get it in hand. Report this Post to the Staff
jdiablo30 Pillar of the Community United States 946 Posts	Posted 11/13/2015 06:38 am Its a high grade too..id say 65+ taking into effect the great hair details,wheat stalks, no real distraction marks. Maybe one little mark on the cheek that kind of blends in. Report this Post to the Staff
