[QUOTE="Collect89, post: 1468965, member: 15445"]I’ve also read that many proof-like early business strikes are mistaken for genuine proofs. In addition to wire rims, square edges and proof-like surfaces, the proofs must show evidence of being struck two or more times in the coining press. Proof coins must have a proof surface in the triangle-shaped field in front of the lady’s left hand. I can’t see any evidence of two strikes on my coin. All I see are proof-like fields and very sharp rim details. This photo was shot through the 2x2 Mylar windows with normal indoor Tungsten lighting.[/QUOTE]
