2019 W West Point Reverse Proof Lincoln Cent

Agreed I did not know they were handled like this before even leaving the mint. With this being the case the chance of getting your hands on a ms70 coin is impossible.

Neat video!
Thanks for sharing.

Looked legit to me nothing wrong there at all, no production issues that all of them aren't experiencing right along with the rest.

What do you want for free anyways?

From what I can tell on the population report for these is about 1/4th of the coins are PR70 for the regular proof, and so far PR69 is taking the lead for the Reverse proof, but that's likely to change once they hit the home shopping networks submissions.

it's a modern proof coin, they don't have much value to begin with normally. It's always been a losing bet, with the exception of the purposely low mintage proofs and even those won't make you rich.

I'm waiting for the uncirculated finish one with the Mint set. I think that one there will be the hit or miss coin of the 3 for Lincoln Cent sets a few decades from now.

Set collectors can do without proofs, they really can't do without a circulation strike. but that's all speculation....

Yes that was the planchets, that doesn't concern me. It's around the 1:18 point where the struck coins are piled and being slid around over each other in the packaging process that is disturbing.

My soul hurts
