@g048406, unless my old eyes deceive me, I see all three markers for 1899 VAM-1A which makes your coin a bona fide proof. The missing hair at the curl is a known die polishing marker for later die state 1899 proofs. Fantastic photos, by the way! EDIT: I also suspect that you knew exactly where I was heading when I asked for the closeups.  Awesome coin! Edited by fortcollins
