Mint1 New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 08/31/2017 2:16 pm Good afternoon everyone. I was going through my proof sets and found this interesting appearance with the F in the FG initials on the reverse. It is a Proof set. Nice penny. The F looks like a big blob or little blob depending on your view. Through 20 times magnification on my AM scope it looks like a blob. Not well defined at all. You can make out an F at the angled shots a little. I don't know what to think of it. If it is something. I am sending a batch to PCGS this week. How would I send a proof set to PCGS if this requires further attention. It is probably nothing. Your opinions mean a great deal. I know many of you have over 30 years of experience in these matters. Thanks. Edited by Mint1 08/31/2017 6:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff

This was probably toward the end of the proof run, this is call "metal flow", it will cause weird distortions as metal flows to the outside after multiple strikings. Report this Post to the Staff

Mint1 New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 08/31/2017 9:48 pm OK, I found the 1970S1DR-001P. It is in a proof set. Do I have to send the proof set to PCGS? Report this Post to the Staff
