1883 proof IHC

Purchased this most recently. Any Thoughts? It doesn't stick out like a proof to me. Sorry about the crappy pic's, I was playing with the artificial/flourescent settings on my camera. Taking pic's of a slabbed coin is tough. I'll try again in the AM.

Very nice Harry! I've always wanted a proof IHC or early Lincoln.

 

I'll have to dig thru my " non cents " ( Lincoln ) box......I have a gang of Indian proofs as well.
Your coin looks proof to me...........

 

I still have a hard time telling the difference between IHC proofs an business strikes.

 

I.. wish... I .... had.. what you have...

 

Nice coin. Is that mechanical doubling on the obverse?

 

Harry
The proof Indian pics are in lala land, like my pics of the 21-S from NY. I will find them eventually, just not tonight.

I have showed Mag a cpl of my proof Indians, they DO exsist, lol

 

I belive it may considered "longacre doubling" in IHC's and other coins designed by Longacre.

 

I visit lala land often, maybe I'll find your proofs next time I go there.

 

Harry, Proof IHC's usually have a very different look than their MS counterparts. I find them easy to differentiate, not at all like the matte proof Lincolns. Now they are tough.

 

Nice coin harry!
