Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 11/03/2019 5:34 pm I don't think it's a proof, but it does have PL qualities. I look forward to seeing the pic of the reverse. This coin was probably an early strike. Five cent dies tended to wear relatively quickly because of the hardness of nickel. I do see a crack around 4 to 5 o'clock. Report this Post to the Staff

CherryPicker1 Pillar of the Community United States 646 Posts	Posted 11/04/2019 09:41 am If this is a proof, what would you think it would be worth? I think some of the things like the fingerprint are on the holder, not the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 11/04/2019 2:08 pm Gorgeous, but I still think it's an early business strike. I would be tempted to send it to a TPG and see what it comes back. Report this Post to the Staff
