<p>[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 407250, member: 307"]If the coin looks basically like your average circulated Lincoln, then it is one. The mirror finish on the proof coins is the primary give away to identifying the modern proofs. As Hobo said, look at areas that wouldn't be rubbed by normal handling like inside the 9 and 0 in the date, near the word Liberty, etc. There would be some mirror finish left in these areas even on a heavily circulated example.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
