What are the edges like? If its smooth, it will be a proof. If its edges are reeded, its probably a circulation issue, although some proofs have been issued with reeded edges as well. As for condition, it's hard to tell from the photos. All I will say is that 'shininess' is not neccessarily an indication of 'unc-ness'. It may have been cleaned or polished, for example. For this to be 'unc', the detail needs to be all there. For example, does the badge the Queen is wearing sill have the entwined 'VR' on it, or is it worn out or even smooth?
proof like So the ? Was there any made for cic that had a proof like finish If so how many& How much are they worth If is a proof with a reeded edge then how many and again are they rarer than the proof with the plain edge ?????? Dave
Yes there were proof issues made for the jubilee year. I'd like the portrait to be a little 'frostier' before I said for sure that it was a proof. I can tell you that unc catalogues in Spink for £60 and proof for £120...
anybody :computer: ANYBODY OUT THERE TO LET ME KNOW IF IT IS OR NOT PROOF THANKS TO ALL FOR HELP SO FAR DAVE
while i am online :whistle: While i am online If it is not a proof what are these coins going for in this grade even if is only a unc Again thanks Dave
