[QUOTE="Louie_Two_Bits, post: 1249200, member: 17748"]Thanks for all the opinions so far gents! At least I don't feel so bad for not knowing being able to conclusively say if this is a matte proof or not; I have no experience whatsoever with them. Although many of you experts don't have the advantage of viewing this in hand like I do, and could probably tell right away if this was indeed matte proof or not. Unfortunately, I'm not that good ;) So far the consensus is leaning towards not a matte proof, but I'm hopeful some more experts will chime in. Doug, I used axial lighting to capture the colors, what are you seeing that indicates a harsh cleaning? Outside of the fingerprint that's etched into the surface and the few nicks and dings here and there :( it's a solid lustrous coin that [I]appears [/I]to be problem-free. So please, do tell... -LTB[/QUOTE]
