[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 7400089, member: 105571"]Well, for a possible proof that would grade 60 and above, obviously look for very strong strike, square rims, and reflective surfaces. For circulated coins, look for all of the above but it is obviously harder to make the distinction between business and proof the more circulated it is. If I was faced with trying to make the distinction, in addition to the above I would use my Snow reference book to identify the die marriage since the proof dies are usually not used for business strikes. There are some exceptions which is why the reference books are so valuable.[/QUOTE]
