Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 09/15/2020 8:25 pm I don't think this is a proof coin. The fields aren't mirrored and there's no S mint mark. The coin seems to have been a fairly strong strike, but the damage across the reverse kills any value the coin may have had.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/15/2020 8:51 pm Definitely not a proof coin, and the long gouge leaves it worth just face value. Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 09/16/2020 01:42 am Any 1975 proof would have an S mintmark. Too bad about the scratch.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/16/2020 05:16 am Not a proof. Proof is not a condition or a grade,it is a minting process with special dies,blanks and added minting pressure as well as it being struck at least two times as opposed to one strike for a business struck coin with less pressure.
