<p>[QUOTE="iPen, post: 2407453, member: 69760"]I can't quite tell whether this one is proof or business strike. From pics online, both strike types have that grainy texture on the obverse's field. Obviously, proof strikes tend to have a mirror finish - this particular type pattern has a reverse proof pattern. It's hard to make out any cartwheel luster, if it's a business strike. But it looks "shiny" like a mirrored proof coin, but you can't quite see your sharp reflection like on modern proofs. I think it'll grade as a circulated coin, so maybe that's why. Thoughts?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/kovacs22/P1080269_zpsgsh0fcag.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee451/kovacs22/P1080270_zpsgnrynwvv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
