[QUOTE="JCro57, post: 3070722, member: 92083"]Four major errors here...and some questions... This beauty is [B]Broadstruck, [/B]which makes it cool by itself. It ia also struck on a [B]Type 1 Blank[/B] (or would it really technically be Type 2 [rimeless] Blank? I guess that depends if a proof coin is just plated differently from regular stock, or if the strips of metal themselves - before they are punched out - are different from the start). What makes it especially cool is that is a [B]Proof. [/B](Notice the tumbling marks, particularly around the edges.) [B][/B] Finally, in addition to being a proof, even cooler is that [B]the Mintmark is a "P" and not an "S." [/B] My question is, how/why would this proof specimen have a "P" Mintmark? Weren't all the SBA proofs minted in San Francisco? Does that mean that an obverse die somehow was placed inside the San Fran mint? Or was proof stock/finish placed in the Philly Mint? Would love to year from you guys on this. [ATTACH=full]771580[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]771581[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]771582[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
