Unc details unless the lines on the reverse aren't abrasions.

The overall definition, especially the denticles, makes me think I'm looking at a Proof. However, the hairlines on the reverse appear to follow the postmint pattern of being their strongest away from the intersections with devices (when you think about it, it'll be intuitive that polishing hairlines won't weaken at the edges of devices since they're a negative on the die). Therefore, I'm forced to strongly consider - from these images - that the coin has been brushed postmint.

PS. I would like to point out that I don't collect this series, have no idea what those lines are on the reverse, and basically and making and educated guess from general numismatic knowledge. I actually hope I am wrong. The devices on the reverse actually look to have a little contrast to them.

Keep em coming. I will recognize multiple winners. And recognition is all you will get

 

I'm going PR62.

And I'm collecting an 1869 type set and love the coin.

It's Proof, but it would be details cleaned. At least that is my opinion. I could be wrong, but it sure looks like haloing around the devices.

 

We are close to having a winner or winners, but ain't quite there yet.

Winner or the closest at 6 pm central.

 

Closest are @kSigSteve and @Omegaraptor !

 

Ok what are the lines on the reverse? Is it just your photo? Or is it some oddity that shows up on old proofs?

 

Don't know how much is coin and how much is the photo. Coin is in the bank vault.

 

What bank?
