[QUOTE="Aslanmia, post: 535755, member: 11753"]I don't actually have the coin in hand yet, but when I do I'll take some bigger and better pics and weigh and measure the thing. Krause says it's supposed to be copper-nickel, but then Krause also says no proofs were made in 1959. :) As for the mintmark it looks like a diamond to me but I won't know for sure until it arrives. Either way, I'm pretty sure we can safely say it was minted in Mumbai. What concerns me the most is the fact that (to the best of my knowledge) the cameo proofs didn't start appearing until 72 or 73... so where the heck did this ultra-cameo coin come from? (The first person who says China, gets a kick in the nads... ;) )[/QUOTE]
