John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/20/2018 08:07 am It is a business strike not a proof strike. Use Google images to see a real one in a slab,PCGS or NGC or ANACS. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74455 Posts	Posted 04/20/2018 11:25 am This is just a regular and normal business strike. A Proof strike is a lot different with frosted fields and a mirror-like finish. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 04/20/2018 11:27 am Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/20/2018 11:44 pm Here's a side by side to show the differences: Business strike coins that year do not have a mint mark from Philadelphia. The missing mint mark is on the proof 'S' mint marks. Report this Post to the Staff
dbeck22 Valued Member United States 117 Posts	Posted 04/21/2018 12:55 pm Ive got a 87 proof set that I busted open just to compare. Heritage auctions told me to take it to my coin dealer and if it graded they would buy it Report this Post to the Staff
Ilikeabecoins Valued Member United States 262 Posts	Posted 04/21/2018 1:13 pm I you are talking about the 1990 coin above, it will not grade out at anywhere near what you think it will. I see zinc rot and fingerprints. And just an FYI, don't ever hold a coin that you might think has any real value without gloves. You are adding your fingerprints to those already there. Keep looking Report this Post to the Staff

dbeck22 Valued Member United States 117 Posts	Posted 04/21/2018 1:48 pm I just realized the picture showing the obverse is the wrong coin. I had several in a folder.... been looking for one of these for a while. lol. Maybe this one is it... Report this Post to the Staff
dbeck22 Valued Member United States 117 Posts	Posted 04/21/2018 1:52 pm here is a pic of the edge... I tried to take it without touching it this time Report this Post to the Staff
Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7512 Posts	Posted 04/21/2018 4:12 pm Business strike, take a look at coop's demo pics. I know your coin is probably quite shiny but it doesn't make it a proof. Report this Post to the Staff
dbeck22 Valued Member United States 117 Posts	Posted 04/21/2018 9:32 pm I'm not judging it by the mirror side of it... I was going by the edge Report this Post to the Staff
