<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldman, post: 344418, member: 11986&quot;]It is a proof coin. The reason you no longer see the mirror finish is because the coin has not been stored in a manner that would alow it to keep that mirror finish. Remeber they did not have plastic slabs 103 years ago. Most collectors had there coin on a coin display where the coin would sit open to the air for who knows how long. Chances are this Cent sat in open air for a few years then was put away in a paper storage of some sort. Then some time in the 1990s got put into a ANACS slab. IMHO that is a fantasic coin. You should be very happy to own it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
