Baby_Lokz New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 11/11/2018 3:06 pm Can a proof coin lose its mirror-like features from being heavily circulated, and how can one tell or distinguished a well circulated proof coin to that of a regular strike business one? Here, I have 3 coins in comparison. Could anyone of these be the rare one? Any feedbacks will be greatly appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4398 Posts	Posted 11/11/2018 3:13 pm All of these are circulation strikes, not proofs. Circulated proofs should still have some of the mirror-like fields in areas not affected by circulation wear. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/11/2018 3:15 pm Normal dime from Philadelphia (they are known until 1980 as to having no 'P' Mint marks) that are business strike coins. The Proof dime is the one missing the mint mark. Proof dimes are struck for collectors. Note the condition and the mirror like fields on the coin. They should have had a 'S' mint mark on them: Yours are normal dimes from that year from Philly. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15417 Posts	Posted 02/04/2023 3:39 pm @ the OP - agreed these are circulation strikes. An impaired proof even at this level of circulation wear would still have mirror fields in the protected areas. @andromeda to the CCF. the 'strike mark' you refer to is simply circulation damage. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
