You have the coin in hand, I don't. But just out of curiosity, how come every line on that coin stops just inside the rim ? If that was just a...
Well it took about 25 years and literally millions of comments just like yours for them to agree to slab problem coins. I suppose you can hope.
Easy, start collecting actual data and saving it. One way or another you'll soon know if you are seeing what you think you are seeing, or not.
Boy you're goin back a ways now. Yeah I remember them, I even remember before them. Those things came about from collectors who used to first wrap...

No way to know, it could be due to anything.
Think of it like this. Is there a difference between a Proof Set in original mint packaging and a Proof Set in a Capital Plastics holder ? Pretty...
