Ironically they are my birth year and that makes them special to me. I am really quite pleased them. They were all in flimsy flips but have mirror like finish, no distracting marks or prints, so I could not bring myself to even hold one in my bare hands, &quot;wanted to though! (*_^) &quot; I transferred them to poly plastic holders. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe you could elaborate a little more on:<blockquote><blockquote><p><b><i>Exactly how can you make a determination between a weak proof and an exceptional UNK coin? </i></b></p><p><b><i></i></b><b><i>With most issues it is a no brainer.

I have several 57D&#039;s which look very similar if not quite as mirror like. What if any are other indicators you would use to differentiate between weak proof and exceptional UNK coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><i><b>&quot;To know something is worth 2 cents.
