ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 04/30/2016 7:49 pm Gorgeous lincoln wheat... Wondering if it maybe a proof. If not, oh well. Major upgrade to my old one. Yes, this is the one in my Box of 20. Hard to see polishing lines due to a slight wood grain toning on the coin. And, you know, I suck at taking close up pics Report this Post to the Staff

kookoox10 Pillar of the Community United States 1054 Posts	Posted 04/30/2016 8:56 pm I agree, the obverse rim doesn't have the traditional diagnostics of a proof specimen. And I don't believe the proofs have the die chip in the B or Liberty either. Aside from that, nice beauty!! Report this Post to the Staff
Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5394 Posts	Posted 04/30/2016 9:06 pm Nice circulation strike . Easy way to tell a matte proof check the edge. It will have the appearance of the earlier brilliant proofs and you would almost cut your finger as it will be sharp. Report this Post to the Staff
mdrosophila Pillar of the Community United States 724 Posts	Posted 04/30/2016 9:43 pm The die polish lines are not in the right directions. Compare it with the PCGS picture. http://www.PCGScoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/3300 Report this Post to the Staff
