My penny rolls have been lame recently as my banks are not circulating coins like they use to. I guess it is the same everywhere as people don't use coins, just plastic! This week out of one of my cent rolls popped a shiny 1962 P LMC. When I searched about Proofs for the year I found they are not marked and Philadelphia made 3.2 million of them. I think I got one after searching my coin looking at the fields and the character of the coin, I think it is a impaired proof. It shows wear from circulation. The coin is copper colored and weighs 3.1 grams and it doesn't have dark fields like proofs do, but according to PCGS they have one the color of my coin! It is a nice coin and I guess it could be a spectacular business strike so I took eight shots of my coin to show it to the community and get your opinion. I know it is difficult to identify by looking at pics but I don't have money to send it out to the people who verify! Thanks for looking and regards! Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6503 Posts	Posted 08/30/2024 7:59 pm Way too many tiny variations on the fields to be a proof. Also, the text on a proof is crisp and of a very uniform width compared to other proofs. Their features don't vary much, obviously by intentional design. Looks like a really nice business strike. Definitely a keeper! =) Report this Post to the Staff
