LincolnCentMeHere Pillar of the Community United States 558 Posts	Posted 01/09/2016 3:01 pm I inherited by accident an awesome coin collection from an unknown person when I purchased $25 in pennies last week. I am pretty sure (because of the research that I have done) that this coin as well as a few other 1990's that were apart of this collection. I wanted to see what you (forum members) think about my cent piece. I can also attach more pics of this coin and/or other 1990 cents as well if you needed. Report this Post to the Staff

ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 01/09/2016 4:07 pm Not a proof coin. Go down to your LCS and ask to see a proof Lincoln. Buy yourself a 2000ish memorial proof with nice cameo, it should only cost you a buck or so. You've clearly never seen a proof lincoln in hand, and once you see some your gunna be blown away.

LincolnCentMeHere Pillar of the Community United States 558 Posts	Posted 01/25/2016 5:14 pm If a proof is in circulation will it still look like a proof (cameo/frosted)? Or will that feature of it be lost? Just like new cents/coins get wear on them & become darker, will this also happen with a proof coin? Speaking of the 1990 proof, besides the rim, if it has lost its luster is there any other way to tell that it's a 90 no S is in fact a 90 no S proof? I've seen a few proofs that are old & look old. Still unsure.... :/ Report this Post to the Staff
