Not a proof, just a normal coin. Worth $0.01

Some cents from the 90's and early 2000's were minted with extra thick planchets. I found one from 2000 that I swore was a proof coin. Put it side by side with an actual proof coin and is the same thickness. It was just an extra thick business strike.

What makes you think this is a proof? Which it isn't!

dbeck22, you've tried this before, haven't you? The answer and the charts are still the same. You say you go by the rim, all and well but your rim has a beveled top and bottom on the rim indicative of a business strike, period, besides still having NO mirrored fields. Go crack out a few proofs and study them, the 1990 Proof is exactly like those rim and all. Then next time look here first: https://www.coincommunity.com/numis...nt&sa=Search  Edited by Crazyb0

There is much more involved in determining business strike or proof than the rims. Your example, as has been stated, is not a proof.

Plus no mirrored fields and a fingerprint on the obverse!

This is what a proof coin looks like side by side a business strike coin:  See the difference? |

The rim is not diagnostic... all that full rims mean is that the coin was fully struck, in collar... business strikes can have thicker rims - it all depends on the parameters set by operator of the presses when the coins were struck, and if the rolling stock which created the planchets was at the upper end of its tolerances.

It's a Business Strike coin. A proof would have a frosted mirror finished surface.
Errers and Varietys.
