[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 1397522, member: 2972"]Neither one appears to be a proof. First, the rims don't appear square enough. Second, the area inside the shield on the reverse doesn't appear mirrored. Third, the lettering and date don't appear "squared" off as they do on proof issues (on your coins the lettering and date appear "rounded" like business struck coins). Here are two proofs to compare yours to: [img]http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/93237364/original.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/93237371/original.jpg[/img] A second shot of the reverse where you can see the mirrored interior of the shield: [img]http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/59918456/original.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/131753132/original.jpg[/img][/QUOTE]
