LargeZ New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 12/30/2019 9:27 pm I have to say I don't own a proof coin or ever seen one in person. So I can go by what I read, they have a mirror like finish. Of course being circulated, I'm sure the finish of a proof wouldt be as profound. Of course I'm just speculating. This is the brightest coin I have ever came across. Found this roll hunting. Think this may be a proof coin? It's the one in the center. I added random coins around it to show how it's glossy look pops out. The bottom row is all brand new 2019's, we all know how bright they are. Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/30/2019 9:33 pm No, not a proof. Believe it or not, that's the way they come from the mint! The luster diminishes from circulation. A 1990 proof cent would have the mintmark "S" (for San Francisco) under the date. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
lawest Pillar of the Community United States 1998 Posts	Posted 12/30/2019 9:44 pm Circulated proofs do exist, I have come across several. However, the 1990 in your pic is a business strike Report this Post to the Staff

LargeZ New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 12/30/2019 9:49 pm Indeed '90 Proofs have S MM However Some 1990 S Lincoln Memorial Cents did not receive an S mint mark on the coin. Just curious if I'm may have found one Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 01/01/2020 12:28 pm I would suggest you buy a common proof single on ebay so you will understand what a proof looks like. You can find the common pieces often for about $3 or $4 including shipping. Report this Post to the Staff
