<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 8260337, member: 25270&quot;]Among a large group of coins I purchased recently there were a few that I&#039;m wondering if they might be proofs. I can easily identify modern proofs, but I know that older proofs are not necessarily so easy to distinguish as they might not have the mirror fields and other details we associate with modern proofs. Specifically I have a 1948 South Africa farthing, a few different 1952 South Africa coins and a 1928 Irish penny. Any picture I tried to take would not capture what I see in person so I hesitate to even try. But the coins have so much luster it really makes me wonder. Anyone have experience with anything in this area?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
