<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 1910756, member: 5233&quot;]I agree this is not a proof as the strike isn&#039;t strong enough.&nbsp; It looks like a regular business strike coin.&nbsp; However, your info here doesn&#039;t necessarily apply to proofs from this era.&nbsp; In 1955, most proofs didn&#039;t not have cameo contrast and they were all minted in Philadelphia.&nbsp; Now, the proofs minted early in the process did have cameo...but as the dies wore they were not refurbished to maintain it.&nbsp; As a result, many of the proofs from this era (the majority of them)...do not have cameo contrast.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, they will display a stronger strike and do tend to have a more &quot;shinny&quot; finish.&nbsp; Proofs were not minted in San Francisco until 1968.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
