MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2004 Posts	Posted 03/13/2023 02:10 am More than likely it will turn out to be a prooflike business strike but my gut feeling tells me I have to check into this further. I bought this coin about a year ago with the intent of cracking it out for a type set. I found a colorfully toned one instead for the type set so I just put this aside without giving it another thought. It wasn't until just a few days ago that I pulled out my boxes of slabs and started to compare other ms65 buffs to this one. This had such a completely different look to it, especially the mirror like fields, that I had to ponder the question of the possibility of a mis-graded proof. Still out of my wheelhouse for that diagnosis so I will show it to several dealers to get their opinions. I was hoping that FortCollins would weigh in but we haven't heard from him in some time. Hope he is well! Report this Post to the Staff

With almost 102 million minted, this issue is very common, even in higher grades. The rim on proof coins should be squared and have knife-like edges, not chamfered like circulation issues.
