jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1259 Posts	Posted 12/13/2023 7:44 pm I found this five cent proof coin in a 2X2 when sorting out other coins. It looks like a real nice coin. Looking at the steps , I would guess MS 64. I have no idea what I'm talking about so please give me your opinion. I didn't see the two dust specks until I started to post. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/14/2023 05:41 am Can not grade MS 64 because it is a proof coin. What is going on at the back of Jeffs head? John1 Report this Post to the Staff

jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1259 Posts	Posted 12/14/2023 12:55 pm Are these photos any better.. I honestly don't see the finger print, but that's why I asked for an opinion. Thank you Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18657 Posts	Posted 12/14/2023 2:08 pm the first obv photo looks like a fingerprint or something to the right of the profile through LIBERTY. it could be obscured in the 2nd one from angle or the reflective surfaces. if I had to grade it then possibly PF64 i don't think its considered impaired since it would grade above 60 Report this Post to the Staff
