[QUOTE="Pickin and Grinin, post: 8297015, member: 73995"]Judging any proof coin thru photos is absolutely ridiculous sometimes. Unless the lighting is right the mirrored surfaces can and will show lighting artifacts thru the plastic. Proof coins have to be shot out of the slab to tell what the metal flow looks like. For a 67 and above these should only show the slightest of radiant lines and you have to be looking for them. Here is a photo of a PCGS PF67.
