<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nightowl, post: 750489, member: 18614&quot;]If what I am reading is right....the same dies were used for proofs and business strikes that year as a matter of economy. Only the preparation of the planchet should be different. With as little wear as the coin appears to have, I would think some vestiges of the polished surfaces of a proof strike would remain somewhere on the coin. I don&#039;t see any evidence of it ever having that characteristic.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess I&#039;ll know more when I have it in hand. It&#039;s an exciting coin in any case.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nightowl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
