Irelandos Valued Member Canada 50 Posts	Posted 12/05/2024 6:22 pm I have searched and searched into info on the strike/finish varieties for these years and it's never something that can be nailed down to any degree of certainty. In the picture here, the coin on the right seems to clearly have much finer device details, alignment, and a polished field. The coin on the left would be a typical nice example of a standard circulation strike. Considering the stark difference especially in the cameo effect/polished field, would anyone care to offer an opinion as to the coin in question being a "specimen" finish? Thanks!

Dollar 1935 Valued Member Canada 321 Posts	Posted 12/19/2024 10:53 pm Even with the coin in hand that would be somewhat hard to tell with 100% certainty... There's no known 1964 cent known in Specimen as far as I know, most would say only 10c and $1 exist in that finish and the rest likely doesn't exist. ''Buy the very best, stretch to buy it.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6448 Posts	Posted 12/20/2024 11:09 am Just an onlooker to this thread. Are we meant to be evaluating the prooflike quality of this coin? Such as this example on PCGS: https://www.pcgs.com/cert/45775519 Report this Post to the Staff
