<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SorenCoins, post: 3577755, member: 73708&quot;]Hi there guys! I found this penny on the street a little while ago (I think in a parking lot), and the sharpness of the rims really caught my attention. They were sharp, and so I thought that maybe due to the strong detail and interesting appearance of the fields that it may be a circulated proof.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]954119[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]954120[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]954121[/ATTACH] </p><p>I imaged it here, with a 1963 lightly circulated and toned proof on the left, the coin in question in the middle, and a standard business strike 1965 on the right. I think it’s odd because the obverse fields seem to resemble the proof more than the business strike, while the reverse fields seem to resemble the business strike more than the proof. I know that proof coins are typically thicker due to the higher pressures so I did a rim size comparison photo with the proof on top, coin in question in middle, and the business 1965 on bottom. Lemme know you guys think! Also as most cents seem to be from this era the rim size is somewhat variable depending on the coin location and this was a thicker angle of the coin in question when stacked up.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p><br /></p><p>Soren.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
