Possible 1862 Proof

The more I look at this coin the more I find. Yes it is one very nice coin. With the squared rims I was wondering if this could be a proof strike?

I'm guessing, "No!" The dentils are too uneven for my liking.

The clash marks make me think it's not. I know you have better images than that.

 

The more I look at it,the more I know I'm shopping and searching in all the wrong places....I dont know about strike proof Paddy but definately proof you have a lovely coin.She's a beauty

 

It's not a proof strike, but a nicely hammered business strike.

 

I say no , as I've never seen a clash on a proof , but a beautiful coin . Is she yours Paddy ?

 

Yeah Rusty she's mine,I purchased it up at the Hagerstown show a few months back.

 

I will re shoot this morning .

 

ok here's another attempt to get the true image of this coin.

 

I can see why you are wondering. Those fields sure have the look of a proof.
One to compare with.

 

Must be a good year for examples of this fine coin. Mine I think is AU cleaned.

 

Well there were almost 1.5 million MS strikes minted of this year,and 550 proofs.

 

True, and a proof can be yours for around $500. What's not to like.

 

I have to agree ! Sure looks similar strike wise even rim looking proof like. Good find !
