It doesn't have any of the characteristics of a Proof coin but I suppose there are those that would be fooled because it does not have a mintmark...
I would say he has strike doubling (aka machine doubling). Then again he could have machine doubling (aka strike doubling). In case you...
Great minds think alike. What does that mean? It was incomprehensible. :kewl:
