I actually got all kinds of feedback here saying it wasn't a proof, just heavily cleaned and polished and whatnot. Well, I just got my email from ANACS yesterday and... yes, it is a proof! Go figure, right? PF-60 (which I think is a tad on the low side) and "cleaned" (not a surprise to me because of lots of very distinct directional lines) but the details are still incredible compared to the nicest looking business strike. Edit- it was, in fact, not here that I was told it was a business strike.
I just wanted to put up whole-coin shots mostly. I could flood this feed with up-close images, but they won't make any sense unless I also post where they're originating from. Most people would probably see them and be like "oh, a number 1 on my screen (or whatever it's zoomed in on), cool?" and breeze right past it. Context is key when giving a coin a colonoscopy!
