ccobb Valued Member United States 485 Posts	Posted 02/08/2019 01:11 am T-BOP I agree about the reverse not looking like a proof. I thought the same thing but finally was able to see the mirror like background on the reverse. Just another bad photo, I apologize . I can't seem to get a good pic of a highly reflective coin. I'm working on a new set up though. Report this Post to the Staff

I think that we have plenty of company. Nice find though--if nothing else good to pick up silver at face value.
