<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2976656, member: 69760&quot;]I know that the Mint introduced a Special Mint Set in 2008. But my understanding is that those SMS cents were all <i>satin</i> finished. For regular strikes, NGC has a dedicated census for &quot;RDP&quot; or &quot;Red Proof-Like&quot; with a census of <u>zero</u>. It&#039;s as if they know proof-likes exist for 2008; but of the 2.5+ billion struck, they still don&#039;t have one graded (image attached; link <a href="https://www.ngccoin.com/coin-explorer/lincoln-cents-memorial-reverse-1959-2008-pscid-100/2008-1c-ms-coinid-513162" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ngccoin.com/coin-explorer/lincoln-cents-memorial-reverse-1959-2008-pscid-100/2008-1c-ms-coinid-513162" rel="nofollow">here</a>). Yet again, they even include a very thorough Registry Score sheet for a PL strike. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I was sifting through some change and on one cent that I found, the fields are mirrored. Parts of the rim are chamfered unlike typical SMS strikes which have very square rims. It was a bit difficult to take photos of the reflective surfaces, and it looks more mirrored in person. There also appears to be a die chip (or hit) to the upper left of &quot;W&quot; in WE.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you think that this is that supposedly elusive 2008 proof-like cent??</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]731526[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]731527[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]731528[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]731529[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]731530[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
