Looks like a RP date, but it also could be just how it toned. Tough to tell from the photos.
Nice trade! I'd rather have a 19th century proof coin to silver bullion any day of the week.

I love it when the host goes "down the rabbit hole" with a little white lie and then tries to dig themselves out of it. It must be incredibly...
