Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 02/07/2018 10:48 pm The lower right portion of 9 and by nose is flat, shelf-like=MD...as I've said before, proofs struck twice, double the chance for MD. Is why it seems to happen so often on proof coins. Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 189969 Posts	Posted 02/08/2018 2:09 pm I agree, I am seeing a business strike, not a proof. A nice looking one though.

Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3328 Posts	Posted 02/08/2018 9:39 pm Business strike just means it was minted for everyday use, not a specially minted collector quality coin. It's pocket change. But you don't see many of the old S mints these days. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 02/09/2018 10:24 am For being this long since it was made it is in remarkable shape for a circulation find. Has probably been in a hoard or change jar for the past 47 years and just recently got dumped back into circulation. It's not overly valuable, but I know if i'd found it I'd keep it.
