<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kirkuleez, post: 4591301, member: 36864&quot;]Here’s a theory. Maybe they use the detail of the ribbon below the wreath as the diagnostic?&nbsp; On business strike coins, this detail is faint and lacking the detail of the ribbon closest to the fields, on proof coins, and as with the coin that the OP is showing, this detail is much better defined. I suspect that it has to be something along these lines, but that seems hardly conclusive evidence to differentiate between the strike types given that die alignments and planchet&nbsp; thicknesses can vary within the tolerance needed for this small detail to show.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
