[QUOTE="Dymaxion22, post: 9705, member: 964"]After reviewing (with a magnifying glass) the other distinguishing features mentioned in the article provided by GDJMSP, I do believe that it is a proof reverse. I'll investigate whether it is worthwhile to get checked/certified. Another question jumps to mind though. I suppose some (non-error) proof coins must make their way into circulation. Although I think that this penny does indeed have a proof reverse, should I be checking that it does not also have a proof obverse? If it is just a proof coin that made its way into circulation, it would not have the value of the error coin we are discussing, I presume. Any thoughts on this? Does anyone have information that would help me distinguish between proof and non-proof obverse, if this is necessary? Thanks again for all of your help! Dymaxion[/QUOTE]
