As an addendum, I have seen a number of Indian Head cents and early Lincolns that are slabbed and in all likelihood RECOLORED - in other words...
Well it is higher than that and is a specimen.... That coin went for barely the bullion price about 15 years ago. Incredible. In later years I got...
This is a coin that is IMO truly magnificent, although sadly the PCGS photos don't really do it justice as there are numerous die polishing marks....
A tribute to your beautiful coin:

Not sure about the last post relevance. The devices and field do have a polished effect but the lettering does not so vote against the polishing...
Thanks for that! Looks like mainly Tradesmen tokens and books though...
Does anybody know their Ebay "nomen" or name? The ANA internet site didn't have very much information

Are you trying to get the silver or base metal set of 1984 proof?
