<p>[QUOTE="The_Cave_Troll, post: 61223, member: 1674"]hmmm, I think it may just be an effect of the photography and lighting because while the coin has really good luster I don't think it is a proof. On the other hand, the day I was looking through the halves I was able to pick this impaired 62 proof up for melt. It had scotch tape in both of the obverse fields and on the lower portion of the bell on the reverse. Additionally there is a little bit of green verdigris in the letters of "pluribus" on the reverse. It has had an acetone bath or three and the tape and residue is off, but it is obvious that it was there <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>1962 Frankie proof obverse:</p><p><img src="http://www.freepichosting.com/Thumbs/421618431/7/600/450.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>reverse:</p><p><img src="http://www.freepichosting.com/Thumbs/421618431/8/600/450.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
