Absolutely stunning proof cent. Very hard to get good photos of. I think it would grade fairly high..I also think it's a DDR, but that's another topic..Your opinion, please. Thanks   |

Pics too dark to evaluate surface details.

Really doesn't do the coin justice, but maybe this will help. Thanks   |

It's a real challenge to get good photos of proof cents that show the surfaces without glare.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

I normally don't bother much with modern proof coins, but the obverse of this coin does not appear to be endowed with lots of sharp detail.
I would be inclined to look for an example that has been struck from fresher proof dies.
I have seen the US Mint produce a better quality product than this example.
On the other hand, I would much prefer a brass proof One Cent to a proof Zincoln any day.
For a look at the very best example of a proof coin from the US Mint, go to Google Images:
'2009 one ounce Double Eagle'.
All of those images are of coins in either PF69 or PF70 grade.

It's really hard to tell from those photos due to the differences in lighting. If I were to guess I would say PR 67 RD CAM.

Very tough to photograph proofs with standard lighting. The surfaces look nice from what I can tell. Looks like a high end proof, but hard to assign a number with these pictures. Very nice coin!

Sorry, no way to evaluate your photos accurately.
