<p>[QUOTE="Kirkuleez, post: 2218634, member: 36864"]We are not trying to discourage you from further investigation, simply stating opinions that could help you down the correct path. I would suggest visiting your local coin shop and get the dealers opinion before spending the money to have it graded. It would be much easier for the dealer to determine how the coin was manufactured with the coin in hand than it is for us to see minute details that would need to be present. If it turn out that it is not a proof, I would suggest saving your money on the grading fees. VDBs are very common in high grades and you would need at least a 66 to make it worth the submission fees. I don't see it grading that high. Don't get me wrong, it's a very nice coin, but it may not be the home run that you are hoping for. Best of luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
