Well Leadfoot you and I seldom differ too much when it comes to grading. But in this case I think you are attributing too much to the remaining...
Proof coins are struck at least twice, I'd say that's the reason for what you see.
I wasn't meaning to imply there was Bill. But there are genuine examples of coins struck as a dime on one side and a cent on the other. But no -...
I dunno, looks like an RPM to me, but I can't find this one listed. Does it show any signs of doubling elsewhere on the coin ? Maybe you can...
