moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 07/06/2018 7:18 pm Technical Grade Proof 65. Eye Appeal 7/10. I didn't think the 7-G had that obverse die crack. Different progression? Report this Post to the Staff

MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 07/09/2018 6:15 pm At the moment my Briggs book is misplaced and I am far from an expert on Seated coinage. Let's break this down: US Mint didn't keep track of mintage numbers for proofs prior to 1858. The number of dies required would be a pair or two. After striking limited numbers of proof coins, the dies could be and sometimes did strike circulation coins. Just because a coin is struck with dies that had been used earlier to strike proof coins-- DOES NOT make it a proof coin. I think some saw the words Proof dies and assumed it to be a proof coin automatically. -MV Report this Post to the Staff
MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 07/09/2018 6:27 pm The Flying Eagle cent and Seated quarter clash involved the reverse dies.

Steelers72 Pillar of the Community United States 1448 Posts	Posted 07/09/2018 6:56 pm Meadow- spot on. It is just the reverse I believe. Thanks for the examples and the information!! This is the coin in hand. I feared this coin was cleaned at first based on the pictures, but it has lovely cartwheel luster in hand. Any comments on these new pics appreciated!! Taken multiple pictures to show luster. Very vibrant cartwheel luster best shown in a video. Close ups taken under a direct light source Report this Post to the Staff

Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 07/10/2018 08:56 am I'm kind of curious how this coin eluded being holdered for so long. It's pretty incredible to see really nice, spot free 19th century silver type to begin with. Report this Post to the Staff
