Wife found this at her work it's hard to take a pic of the proof I've learned about the shine on it between business mint and proof mint just wondering what y'all think
I need a pic or else I can not tell you if it is proof or not. This is an example of a Special Mint Set coin of that year. This is a normal example:
You forgot to add pictures,it could be a proof or it could have had an altercation like being plated to give it a shine therefore it would be a damaged coin.
Evan the coin looks like the special mint example you sent thank you for that I have a couple of the business proof quarters so the difference is apparent
I forgot about that,the're proof but technically not proof since they were minted with a different striking technique giving them a PL appearance but technically not a proof(hate that)makes it confusing as the image of the one from Evan looks exactly like a proof but it's not.
Welcome to CT @Chris lefave. Hope this information is helpful. For the best results, you should post "in focus," FULL IMAGE photos (after you upload your photo, two buttons appear: Thumbnail and Full Image, click Full Image and your photo appears full size on your post and are easily enlarged by clicking on it). Photograph coins on neutral backgrounds like black, grey, or white. Crop out superfluous background so just the coin shows (you can use https://www.remove.bg for free), and post photos with correct orientation so members don't have to turn their computer in some awkward fashion to view it properly. While it isn’t always necessary, it is nice to show both the obverse and reverse, even if your question is just about one side. Members can often give more valuable information having both sides to evaluate. Add close ups of areas you have questions about and make your questions as definitive as possible so we know what you are asking for. And try to have the best lighting possible to show the most favorable photo of the coin. Hope this helps in the future. Good luck.
Ty you all for the good info trying to narrow down what I'm actually looking for so far it's been working
Proof, dear fellow, is a method of manufacture........the coins struck in '65 were, for all purposes, uncirculated in nature. Well struck though, and quality.
I agree with the polishing. Note that the features and especially the outer devices are worn smooth. Suggests a buffing wheel.
