Two show the blue-ish gold toning and the other two show the coin without being tilted to show toning. Report this Post to the Staff

ace_ftw Pillar of the Community Canada 1747 Posts	Posted 08/16/2018 5:09 pm one would think that more effort would be put into the striking of a proof coin, yours shows it being a MAD. I am not familiar with this era of US minting process so I may be off, I would not think this is a proof coin. Report this Post to the Staff
MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 08/16/2018 5:54 pm Other bits to remember are that dies used to strike proof coins were sometimes later used to strike circulating coins AND the first coins struck by fresh dies have proof-like surfaces. One could always try variety attribution via Fortin's book http://www.seateddimevarieties.com/...2varpage.htm -MV Report this Post to the Staff

WheatBack Pillar of the Community United States 2850 Posts	Posted 08/17/2018 3:23 pm Thank-you all. It came in a U.S. dime type set. I may just keep this one and sell the others. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 08/17/2018 3:54 pm Whether it is proof or not it is a fantastic coin. I would try to attribute it using Fortin's book. (which I don't have, unfortunately, or I would try to attribute it from the pictures) Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74674 Posts	Posted 08/20/2018 04:20 am I'm thinking that it's a Business Strike, but I might be wrong, since I'm not an expert in this area. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
