jgenest New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 03/25/2019 8:13 pm Poll Question I have recently expanded on my cherry picking pocket change stage and recently begun to collect coins. this mint proof set I had purchased for $3, no joke. The more I look at this coin set, the more I think it has a strong resemblance to the 1964 SMS set. It is a gorgeous coin but it 100% does not have the same appearance as my other proof coins when I compare them. Your thoughts? uploaded/jgenest/20190325200818_42AF38F5-1E09-4241-9467-6576353537E7.jpg[/ uploaded/jgenest/20190325200738_BB07CEC2-AA27-49D7-A6A2-92F1D77DB61B.jpg[/ Poll Choices Yes, it appears to be a 1964 SMS Lincoln Cent No, maybe next time Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/25/2019 10:57 pm The rims on a proof cent on that date had flat edges on the rim. Sometimes markers are die scratches on the rim area. Note the rims on these proof coins how instead of being rounded, they are flat? Note how the rim is flat and can have die scratches from the die. They are used as markers. So if this coin is a proof, it should have rims like the above image. Edited by coop 03/25/2019 11:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
