Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 04/21/2018 4:39 pm Another good indicator is that proofs tend to have very sharp, squared rims. Business strikes, like this, usually have more rounded rims. Report this Post to the Staff

rocktowngal Pillar of the Community United States 594 Posts	Posted 04/23/2018 07:42 am One more question about this coin...is this a die clash in the reverse of the coin? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/23/2018 3:43 pm Not sure what you're looking at? If you are referring to the bust outline on the reverse, then that would be PIDT. Not sure what you are seeing though. (Just a guess) Report this Post to the Staff
rocktowngal Pillar of the Community United States 594 Posts	Posted 04/23/2018 4:06 pm Yes coop, that is what I'm talking about...learned a new term today...always learning...so it's a keeper. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/23/2018 4:47 pm I don't think they have a premium, but not as common as the wheat coin examples of PIDT. More of knowing what it is thing, that is the reward. Report this Post to the Staff
