SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 02/02/2009 6:21 pm Tough to say from the pic, but almost certainly not. A Prooflike coin should reflect newspaper print such that you can read it in the coin from a few inches away. Report this Post to the Staff

Jazzcoins Valued Member United States 301 Posts	Posted 02/03/2009 2:58 pm I would say it has a proof like surface just my opinion. The way I test them I put my finger above the coin about an inch away ,and if I see a pretty good refection of my finger,like a mirror I know then it has proof like fields jazzcoins Edited by Jazzcoins 02/03/2009 3:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff

ron6788 Pillar of the Community United States 655 Posts	Posted 02/03/2009 11:21 pm From that pic, I'd say no too. I don't see any contrast between the eagle and the fields at all. How about another pic- bigger and at a slight angle to some light. Report this Post to the Staff
gawd0wns Valued Member Canada 464 Posts	Posted 02/03/2009 11:27 pm Unfortunately, I don't have a photo of the obverse. After looking at the right side of the photo, the surface does not look very reflective... Sharp, but not reflective. The coin in question is an 1885-O, not mine though :).

There doesn't have to be contrast between the devices and the fields for a coin to be PL. Contrast is require for Cameo. Report this Post to the Staff
