wetglaswegian Member United States 917 Posts	Posted 05/14/2009 12:26 pm Thanks guys , it really is a beauty , the dark mark is a reflection , its so mirrorlike. Can anyone suggest to me why his nose and forehead looks like it does please ? The more I look at it , theres something not right with the R , it starts there and comes along his forehead and nose. What exactly am I looking at here ? Is this an error coin ? A double strike ? Edited by wetglaswegian 05/14/2009 2:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 06/10/2009 11:40 pm A little confused here. Did someone say for certain it is a proof ? That doubling would most likely be machine not die and that would not be real common on proofs. Either way I would also agree with a Gem MS-65 maybe 66 Report this Post to the Staff
