wheatguy Pillar of the Community United States 1534 Posts	Posted 05/25/2010 9:49 pm It is a proof in my opinion. Hopefully more people will chime in but proofs vack then looked like that. They do not usually have the cameo look that modern proofs have today. It hasn't been polished but I will wait and see f anyone proves me wrong, since I haven't looked at Lincolns in a long time.

Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 05/26/2010 08:03 am Can't be sure, but it looks like it has wire rims which might indicate a Proof for Lincoln cents. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 05/27/2010 11:06 am Put me in the "NO" camp. Rims are rounded (Especially at 6PM on rev.) and the strike details just aren't that good. Report this Post to the Staff
