rcmartin1964 New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted 01/16/2020 10:02 pm This coin is quite detailed. Is it possible it is a proof ? I will also send pics of a nice business strike I have for comparison. First set of pictures are the ones I'm talking about. In hand it looks like a possible retoned coin but I am leaning toward not. Thanks for any input you all may have ! Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 01/17/2020 12:39 am I think it's just a nice business strike. What are those lines running across the cheek?

How do you distinguish proof vs. business strike ? Are denticles different ? Thanks - Bob Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 01/17/2020 08:33 am Not a proof . Nice brown AU , seems to be a deep scratch or hit on face near mouth and nose . I would give it a good application of Verdi-Care . Quote: Thanks for your responses. How do you distinguish proof vs. business strike ? Are denticles different ? Thanks - Bob Mainly the rims are not squared off . They a rounded indicating business strike . There shouldn't be scratches or spots ,marks if it were a proof unless it was an impaired proof which this is not . Report this Post to the Staff
