Modern proofs are mostly mirrored - they shouldn't be too hard to tell apart at a quick glance. The real tough ones to tell apart are Matte Proof...

That luster is incredible.
@potty dollar 1878 perhaps it would be helpful to read through Marshall's "Attribute This" thread (starting from the first page) to learn more...
And today I learned something new.
They're not worth more than spot silver price. I wouldn't bother with anything but maybe acetone.

I checked all five 1883/2 varieties and both RPDs and this one doesn't seem to match any of them. Prepared to be wrong.
I reported this one a couple days ago. It’s still up?
They are. Anything 1798 1st Hairstyle and earlier I am a huge fan of - the differences between dies were at their most significant. Really want a...
