<p>[QUOTE=&quot;snaz, post: 832930, member: 11315&quot;]Heya PK, </p><p>If the obverse is frosted and the fields are mirrored then I suspect it is a proof. Proofs are made just for collectors. They are struck several times in the minting process to make sure they have all the details and flawless designs.</p><p>I imagine it got into circulation either from a kid who was spending dads collection, or a collector was just being nice to another collector sending it out with his change.</p><p>I would say that it could be the result of a proof set crack out. Lots of times guys will buy many proof sets of the same year and send certain coins into a TPG hoping for the highest grade possible, but you said you found this 20 years ago, and I don&#039;t think there was the same MS 70 hype back then as there is now.</p><p>Thanks for the comment on the site. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
