[QUOTE="Hobo, post: 476686, member: 11521"]It's not a Proof. It does not have the characteristics of a Proof IHC: No mirror surfaces. This coin has luster (which would not be found on a Proof IHC). Rims are not full. Numerals in date are rounded at top surface, not flat. Details are not quite as strong as a Proof. (See lack of detail in some feather tips and hair.) So, this coin is a Business Strike. Is it MS? Maybe. I'm a bit concerned about the broken luster in the obverse fields in front of Liberty's neck and mouth and on the reverse inside the wreath. I am also concerned about the numerous obverse spots and the dark discolorations (obverse field in front of Liberty's face and reverse at top of left side of wreath). It's a nice looking coin but I wouldn't pay MS-64 money for it. I'm guessing with the luster and spotting problems it is either MS-63 or perhaps 62 (although 62 is a bit harsh for this coin with nice eye appeal).[/QUOTE]
