Raist New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 06/12/2017 1:53 pm So I came across this in a roll today, and was very surprised when I noticed it had full steps. The coin itself is in great condition (the pictures look pretty bad, sorry I'm still working out the kinks there), better even then some of the 2017s I come across. If I need to get some better images let me know and Ill give it a shot, but I'm curious what this would grade in at? Report this Post to the Staff

Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 06/12/2017 2:33 pm Steps look good. If it wasn't for the rims I'd say that was a proof coin. Report this Post to the Staff
fioti Pillar of the Community United States 4212 Posts	Posted 06/12/2017 2:47 pm Undoubtably proof. Otherwise, this would be one of the finest I've ever seen. Even MS65 examples dont have that sharp of steps. This particular date, is one of the toughest to aquire with steps of any kind. Edited by fioti 06/12/2017 2:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 06/12/2017 3:16 pm fioti I near had a spazz when I pulled my 1963 philly out. The rims looked scary to me, like I had put a proof in my set, but this one I think is BU. It has fields just like any other Unc. Not anything like the mirror like fields of that pictured above. I have good steps on mine, but technically not full steps. I've had it a long time, I don't remember where it came from but I think my second place duplicate is nothing near as good in the step dept. Duplicates might be higher grade, but in this case, I chose the steps over grade for my set. Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 06/12/2017 5:48 pm Have to throw my hat in the ring with the impaired proof crew. The first thing I thought before reading the rest of the posts was how the fields reminded me of being mirror-like. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36782 Posts	Posted 06/13/2017 09:33 am Agree with impaired proof. Full steps, which is normal for proof. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188770 Posts	Posted 06/13/2017 12:02 pm As I mentioned in the CRH forum, I believe this is a proof. Quote: ahh I wasn't expecting that without the mint mark xD. Thanks everyone! Proofs were minted in Philadelphia until 1964 and started being minted in San Francisco in 1968.
