[QUOTE="Insider, post: 3126022, member: 24314"][B]Folks who authenticate these things have the UNQUESTIONABLE Proofs pinned down by die state using die polish that is not visible in your images.[/B] Without that, it is just a guess. I'll play along as there is nothing to lose in a guessing game. :happy: I'll agree with the guys who say its a Proof as I'm too lazy :yawn: and uninterested ([COLOR=#b300b3]because you really don't need help as you have the slab[/COLOR]) to look up the date placement in order to narrow down my guess. Someone said the date is placed wrong and that may nail it as an MS. Color: PR Flat rims + wire: PR Lack of Marks: PR I might see a clash since someone did: MS Someone said Date Placement: MS (??) IMO, this discussion would have been a great GTG with a Proof being a possibility. ;)[/QUOTE]
