<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 3612151, member: 77413&quot;]My first foray into the 1880s Indian Head cents. It&#039;s raw. I paid MS62 money for it, but the strike, coloring, and proof-like fields make me think it&#039;s a steal.</p><p><br /></p><p>Alas, it does have a shallow depression under the first S and second T of STATES where a planchet flaw was not quite flattened out. And there is a dot of corrosion on the C of CENT. I can live with that.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, wise numismatists of CoinTalk, just how do we tell whether this is a Proof or not? I cannot tell the difference between this one and the photos of 1887 Proofs.
