This coin is making me crazy!!! After much research thought I had a business strike but now believe it&#039;s a matte-proof. An expert posted a rim comparison side by side, plus my coin has a slight fin on upper half. I have 7 matching diagnostics except for the raised crescent shaped die chip next to the M in UNUM but perhaps it&#039;s there and I need better magnification.&nbsp; But I also read a post by Kevin Flynn where he came across a matte-proof&nbsp; which didn&#039;t have the crescent die chip but he was 100% certain was graded as a business strike in error, a matte-proof [ATTACH=full]1098550[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1098552[/ATTACH] with the absence of this one diagnostic.&nbsp; What are your thoughts? I actually fear sending it off to be graded, it may be very valuable! Thanks, Dellen[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
