If it's from a mint set I doubt it is a proof.
Well, I haven't found too many good coins, because the areas I am hitting are mostly modern, recent drops. I have a 1944 Merc, a 1964 rosie, (Prob...
I was thinking spooner on that high rim.
I found a gold ring which has blue diamond chips in it. I asked my gold guy if the diamonds are worth anything: "Not if you are selling." At least...

Try and photo each one both sides as clear as possible.
If they aren't valuable, you can't really hurt them by separating them with a knife or a screwdriver. The soak usually is enough to loosen and...
AU-Details. Cleaning scratches.
