biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 04/02/2011 03:12 am looks proof to me, am I missing something? Report this Post to the Staff
biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 04/02/2011 03:46 am OK, if this is proof, a pr67rd is a $24 coin, up to $75 for a deep cameo. I can see not wanting to bother retailing them at a buck fifty, especially if you have rolls of them from breaking silver proof sets, but that sure makes for expensive change.

coinsearcher83 Pillar of the Community United States 1358 Posts	Posted 04/02/2011 10:05 am Yeah, I think its a proof.. I think one coin dealer just wants repeat customers Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19963 Posts	Posted 04/02/2011 1:32 pm Might be an impared proof....it could be his pictures, but the fields don't look mirrored enough. The proofs from 61 had highly refective fields and these are dulled. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 04/02/2011 4:13 pm I have to agree with BadThad I do not think his coin is a proof but, rather, a very high grade business strike Report this Post to the Staff
cwb1877 Pillar of the Community United States 1659 Posts	Posted 04/03/2011 08:17 am It looks like a proof to me. Either way, the dealer threw you a bone! NICE! Report this Post to the Staff
eddiespin Pillar of the Community United States 1547 Posts	Posted 04/03/2011 08:44 am I get too dizzy to concentrate when the grades get up that high. Report this Post to the Staff
Awesome Wally Valued Member United States 176 Posts	Posted 04/03/2011 3:02 pm I would guess that this is a candidate to get slabbed, maybe? Report this Post to the Staff
Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 04/03/2011 3:20 pm no, its not valuable enough, I would say if it were a $150+ coin it would. this is a $15 coin at most. Report this Post to the Staff
JackB Pillar of the Community United States 1064 Posts	Posted 04/03/2011 8:29 pm Slab-worthy or not, it's a beautiful example - thanks for posting it for us to admire! Report this Post to the Staff
