<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SlyCynic, post: 2357987, member: 77494&quot;]Hi all ... this is my first post to this forum so please have mercy.&nbsp; I came across this presidential dollar in a bank coin roll.&nbsp; My limited research has told me this:</p><ul> <li>Presidential dollars with S (San Francisco) mint marks are proofs</li> <li>Edge lettering for proofs are applied with a 3-part collar, not direct strike</li> </ul><p>So two questions on this coin:</p><ol> <li>What&#039;s with the coloring?&nbsp; Aren&#039;t proofs generally mirror-like with frosted parts?&nbsp; This one seems to have more of a matte finish.</li> <li>Would a proof have such obvious collar marks (3 spaced over the diameter of the coin)?</li> </ol><p>I haven&#039;t been able to find any answers anywhere else, so I thought I&#039;d pose the questions to the experts on here with what I assume would be millenniums-worth of combined coinage experience.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The third question, and most important... is this coin a unique specimen to keep for my collection?&nbsp; Thank you in advance for your opinions (I hope I posted this in the right place).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]480678[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]480679[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]480680[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
