    I don't beleive it is proof.

    By the way tdec, you asked me about the coin shows out my way. The one in St. Louis over the weekend was great.

    Maybe it started out in it's life as a proof and it was taken out of the holder and used. It is defiantly circulated.

    Proof is more a method of manufacture than a condition. I wouldn’t pay any kind of premium for it. That is for sure. Condition is maybe a 40 or so.

    I am the new guy but the coin has no depth. I have looked at lots of proofs ,now I am trying to learn more about real coin collecting as an overall interest.

    Be well

    A Proof it is not - a polished business strike it is.

    Looks to me like it may have even been cleaned at one time or another, to me it looks as if it has a funny looking finish on it.

    I Concur. Not a proof. Its a business strike that has been wheeled out, Look around the rim on the reverse. Nice bullion piece for a necklace.

    at any rate it is a problem coin and not worth $150.00. i don't trust scans enough to uncover all of a coin's secrets.
