CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2741 Posts	Posted 03/05/2022 11:08 pm I posted this coin awhile back but the photos weren't great. With better photos I'm hoping to get some feedback wether or not this looks like a proof capped die strike and how scarce that would be. There are some fine scratches on obverse and there is a color change on south obverse and north reverse which could indicate an altered surface.

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 03/06/2022 12:27 am Based off of the reverse I am confident in saying this is not a proof coin. I see what is likely hairlines on the reverse and the obverse just gives off that cleaned look so I would say that what's making it look so shiny is the fact that it has likely been cleaned. Still, a dramatic error! Very cool! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2741 Posts	Posted 03/06/2022 01:10 am Thanks Coinhunter27, That makes sense. A proof die wouldn't have those abrasion marks and it does look cleaned.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/06/2022 10:30 am Looks like a Philly 1963 cent ( business strike) struck through a capped die. Note the rims. They are showing me struck through issue. And it is probably not polished. (Sorry on my tablet now when I get back into my office, then I will check the one again) If the coin was polished it looses a lot of it error value.
