Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 03/20/2025 7:18 pm Quote: Can't tell for sure from these photos, but the added weight points to a plated coin. It is a D Denver mint mark so definitely not a proof. Edited by Tacc 03/20/2025 7:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94795 Posts	Posted 03/20/2025 7:26 pm No, Not a proof coin, Denver has yet to produce any of those. The lighting is causing a huge glare right on top of your coin and that makes it difficult to determine what is going on. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
