[QUOTE="Kirkuleez, post: 1678245, member: 36864"]I usually follow the "buy the coin not the slab" rule and was bidding around PR-62 money for it. So if it were a proof at all, I would be getting a pretty good deal. Really, even if it is a business strike coin, it price was in order. I sent the seller a message: [I][COLOR=#000][FONT=arial]I received the coin today and I'm just not sure it is a proof.

Thank you, Kirk[/FONT][/COLOR][/I] I'll wait a few days and see what he says, otherwise I'm going to return it.
