I LOVE the coin, but I love capped bust coinage in general...
I agree with Frank. The surfaces are porous. Sure it's not cast?
If allowed a second entry, I would take my change from buying 1893-S Morgans and look for 1877 Indian Head Cents, as well as 1878 Shield Nickels
I didn't understand that I needed to post here. I would takemy $5 and get at least one 1893-S Morgan dollar
Great minds think alike, Eddie!
not a repunched N
I'm going to look for an 1893-S Morgan
I think you just missed the point of the last several posts entirely
Happy Birthday Mat!!! I hope that you enjoy the day and many more to come!

looks cast
Can someone explain to me why they would create a reverse proof set? The sales of Proof Sets has been dropping for years. Why create another set...
Kurt: Some years have special finish coins and are nothing like circulation strike coins. (2005-2010)
I like the coin. It looks like it may have been subject to an old cleaning and has re-toned.
Well, it's post 1983, so that means my bicentennial proof sets are out
maybe... maybe not...
what if I like cheesy tattoos?
That was my thought as well. The ONLY thing that should preclude a gold bean is if John Albanese doesn't think the coin should straight grade at all.
are those bicentennial Proof sets?
You might also ask TOUGHCOINS, he knows these pretty well.
