SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 03/15/2019 4:56 pm I bought this fella at a coin show, my very first and I was just wondering the value and grade on it. I'm not entirely for sure what it is besides the fact that it has more detail than a regular proof. Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 03/16/2019 04:03 am Thanks all, but I still have some questions. The guy selling it said it was a gem proof, what does this mean? Does it increase the value? Is it special? I paid $8 for it, did I get my value back? Coinfrog it's simply an old nickname, well, not a nickname but just a name I thought was interested back in the day, stuck with me I suppose. Report this Post to the Staff

The Red Book states:Proof (60)-Choice proof (63)-Gem Proof (65). Quote: Does it increase the value? Is it special? No. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Keith67 Pillar of the Community United States 6592 Posts	Posted 03/16/2019 04:48 am Gem is anything that grades 65 or better. Those are 66-67. Worth about $8-10 Report this Post to the Staff
