<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 90587, member: 4626&quot;]I&#039;ve seen mishandled proofs before... usually recent ones are easy to spot because the field has picked up fingerprints but the details are still sharp.&nbsp; These don&#039;t quite look like those... there&#039;s not much wear, details are pretty sharp but not extremely so, and it doesn&#039;t seem like they ever had a mirrored field.&nbsp; But if San Francisco only minted proofs in 1971 and 1989, I guess they would have to be... it&#039;s just that mishandling wasn&#039;t as hard on these coins apparently as is usually the case.&nbsp; I suppose they could be Proof-55&#039;s or so... maybe I should post scans of them here.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the mintages... did San Francisco only mint proofs in 1971 and 1989?&nbsp; If so then these would have to be mishandled proofs.&nbsp; Found one of them in change and the other in a 50 cent slot machine in Biloxi, MS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
