<p>[QUOTE="Kevin Mader, post: 4215018, member: 106826"]What I find interesting is that the reverse intersection point on your coin (and at the link I provided) has a more rolled appearance typically seen on business strikes. But on the obverse it is sharp like a proof should be. You’ll note that this diagnostic is not foolproof. The edge shot helps clarify the situation. It is commonly asked if an early Lincoln is a proof because many of the business strikes have sharp, crisp looking rims. But they are business strikes in most instances. This is typically borne out by the edge picture especially when juxtaposed with other proof/business strike coins. Uniformity of appearance is key.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
