    This might be a tricky one, but I want your opinion on this 1950 proof cent. I tend to get deals on 40s and 50s proofs, which is why I bought this one.

    It's already been established that the coin is a proof.

    Sorry but I have a better one in my raw 1950 Proof set. When I bought that set off “the Boston bid wall” in the 1980s, the cent was similar to that piece despite the fact that the other coins were exceptional for 1950 Proof coins. I guess I was lucky, but a bought a replacement, I think from JJ Teaparty for $50, and “blew off” the one in the set.

    Grading proofs from pictures, extremely challenging. They only minted 51k of these, so it's a winner no matter what!

    You got it! Seems like you have an eye close to the grading companies. ;)
