It could have some type of artificial finish on it. I think in the old days, some guys used to put a laqueur or something on coins to prevent them from toning. Just a guess.

In the future, you know you can take a picture through a loupe? It magnifies what you're trying to show a lot better. Especially if you don't have an appropriate macro lens.

 

hey thanks for the advice.its def no coating on it.i will try that be back in a minute

 

i will get better camera tomorrow lol cant get better than this with out blur thanks guys

 

not a proof

They only made plain no mint mark (Philadelphia) proofs in that year. Absolutely NO 'd' proofs.

 

Are you sure it is not varnished/ That would create the appearance of doubling and increase the gloss, making it appear proof. When the better pictures get here it will help immensely.
