<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1494428, member: 11521&quot;]That is one nice Large Cent! Full rims and full denticles and a great strike. LIBERTY is a bit weak so it may not be a Proof, perhaps just an exceptionally good strike. Does anyone think that it could possibly be a Specimen strike? (I am not that familiar with Proof and Specimen coins from that era so it is possible that Proof and Specimen were the same thing then.) </p><p><br /></p><p>The mark on Liberty&#039;s neck looks like a hit and not necessarily a bag mark. Someone could have dropped the coin or dropped something on the coin somewhere along the way. It looks to me like this coin has had special care in its life and unfortunately took a hit to the neck at some point (probably due to poor handling).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
