<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 4311367, member: 19165&quot;]I am fairly confident you have a business strike coin. If you look at the rims, the are rounded, not crisp and square as you see on the proof. The edge looks rounded as well, as much as I can see in the slab. Additionally, there is weakness on the stars, which I would not expect to see on a proof. As johnmilton said, there appears to be too much frost on your coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>However, there&#039;s a good chance that it could get a PL designation if the mirrors are deep enough. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It was very common in the 1800&#039;s for them to use proof dies to strike business strikes. Making a die was very expensive and labor intensive. A well made die could be used for thousands of coins - and they only needed to mint a few hundred proofs (550 for this date). I don&#039;t know about this particular date, but I&#039;d be more surprised if the proof die did not make business strikes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
