<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 456780, member: 2972&quot;]While I can completely understand and relate to WHY you said that, that is quite a leap of faith, and not a leap I&#039;m willing to take...&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Please see my prior post for the rationale for this response, and if you&#039;d like to discuss it in more detail, please feel free to do so, but the bottom line is that it is my understanding that there is no direct evidence supporting NGC&#039;s attribution of these coins as proofs.&nbsp; Said a bit differently, NGC&#039;s blessing is only an OPINION, not a fact, and in this case there is no evidence (outside the look of the coin) to suggest it is a specimen, a proof, or a &quot;specimen proof&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is the coin attractive?&nbsp; Undoubtedly.&nbsp; Does the coin look different from other examples?&nbsp; Without question.&nbsp; Is it worth a premium to MS 63&#039;s?&nbsp; Certainly.&nbsp; Is it a &quot;specimen proof&quot;?&nbsp; That would be an opinion without a solid basis, IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p>With respect...Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
