<p>[QUOTE=&quot;COIN STASHER, post: 268495, member: 773&quot;]Thanks.&nbsp; I already wear glasses, and I&#039;ve never had trouble identifying proofs or distinguishing them from MS coins before though, hence my question.&nbsp; Coins are 1958 Franklin Halves.&nbsp; A local dealer said one was a very stongly-struck mint state proof-like specimen.&nbsp; Then, under a microscope, he noticed an edge ding that overlapped onto the rim, and some hairlines.&nbsp; He thought maybe the coin had been whizzed, dipped or highly polished to look like a proof.&nbsp; So, blessed be the end of that controversy!&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyway, I managed to forgive myself for my lack of numismatic knowledge, and have sworn to strive on with great endeavor toward abundant fulfillment in this wonderful hobby, despite what apparently appears (to some) to be quite difficult physical, and possibly mental, challenges for my being.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>To those responders, I now wish to apologize for wasting your time spent on addressing what certainly must have seemed to be an utterly ridiculous question. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In closing, LOL, kindly disregard this and my previous post which created this thread!!&nbsp; I think I&#039;ll rank my fantasy football players tonight.&nbsp; Duh, who should I draft first- Tomlinson or Paris Hilton??[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
