<p>[QUOTE=&quot;snip, post: 1139449, member: 29958&quot;]Hmm..I never thought about the possibility of it being a proof. I have heard they can discolor strangely. I purchased the coin off an older gentleman who said he&#039;s had it for 30-35 yrs. It was just marked &quot;BU&quot;.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That&#039;s a good thought on the origin of the surface flaws as well. Although I would think that it couldn&#039;t be both a proof and struck on a corroded die...but who knows![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
