Iwannado Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 06/25/2017 3:49 pm Ok this is unusual to me here we have an original not replated and it's a very thick plating super brilliant with an orange peel texture with scratches under the surface and one hit above left of "one" is this a kind of proof ? From Denver ? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/26/2017 12:44 pm Looks like a good BU example. Not a proof as it is not a 'S' mint. Sometimes they get it just right when they are struck. Probably not from a mint set. I've found better examples in OBW rolls, rather than mint sets. (The OBW rolls are handled as much as the mint sets) Report this Post to the Staff
Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3327 Posts	Posted 06/26/2017 12:54 pm I'm sticking with the satin finish idea. Is there a way to tell for sure from the photos? "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff

oober Valued Member United States 467 Posts	Posted 06/29/2017 9:21 pm Weird finish if it was a mint set coin. I have seen this finish plenty though on Zincolns being plating bubbles. Report this Post to the Staff
