This proof had a film and fingerprints that I was able to remove. Fortunately the fingerprints seemed to be in the film, not etched into the...

I did not reply, but @JeffB ’s comment certainly had me thinking. The way the cracks at the left form a triangle that perfectly ties in to the...
Sorry to post again, but I missed something. I thought the bright lines were the entire scratches. They aren’t. The scratches are actually wider...

[ATTACH] This got a Details grade because of the mark at the reverse rim at 9:00. Apparently it’s a contact mark from a coin roll wrapping...
How about now?
Larry, yours just has to be a proof. I just have this one, which I really like. [ATTACH]
I posted dimes when I should not have, replaced them with nickels, and now we have come around to Mercury dimes again! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] This is...
