<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2573508, member: 1892&quot;]It&#039;s not inconceivable that they&#039;re the same coin, but I feel the 2003 images are too weak to offer conclusive evidence. One thing that&#039;s for sure is, the coin has been given <i>extensive</i> help in achieving &quot;PF63CAM&quot; by comparison to other issues being offered the same grade. It&#039;s very weakly struck in the center, not cameo at all there, which would be a complete dealbreaker for a Proof of a circulating issue. And, as evidenced by the plate coin at US Patterns:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://uspatterns.com/j1315.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://uspatterns.com/j1315.html" rel="nofollow">http://uspatterns.com/j1315.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>....it <b>can</b> be found well-struck. Therefore, you can&#039;t just say, &quot;Well, none of them are well-struck so we might as well grade on a curve&quot; (despite the fact that you_don&#039;t grade coins on a curve). </p><p><br /></p><p>So, yeah, like Doug said. If the PF61 is the same coin, it&#039;s the more realistic grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
