[QUOTE="Stonedywankanobe, post: 3665196, member: 90786"]At my lcs, in the 90% half dollar bin if you can believe it. Same day i pulled 8 uncirc washington carver commems, another stone mtn in similar shape and this 1892 here that ive later been told was either a proof or proof like. [ATTACH=full]985622[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]985623[/ATTACH] Has a wonderful blue hue in hand. Near impossible to get a pic showing just how mirrored the fields are and how frosty the devices appear in hand with my phone camera. At any rate i bought them all at 12 dollars per 1 buck face. Just timing really, the owner of the shop was having heart surgery and someone had just brought them in, most likely a deceased relatives coins i figure. The caretaker of the shop paid 4 each without as much as a second look i guess and chunked them in the bin. When i found the 1892 i mentioned to him that it looked almost proof like. He agreed and swallowed hard because he knew that baby was long gone. I took it back in several months later and the numismatist said it needed to be slabed and offered me quit a bit more than id gave him for it. I declined, love it too much.[/QUOTE]
