<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kristine Garrant, post: 24491132, member: 124772&quot;]Ok but my question is regarding edges and why would a squared edge would be on a non proof coin?&nbsp; I&#039;m trying to figure out distinguishing characteristics of proof coins that have been in circulation, which would therefore make them hard to discern from a normal proof that wasn&#039;t in circulation.&nbsp;&nbsp; cuz they would get the normal wear and tear.&nbsp;&nbsp; then I also want to ask about where there&#039;s years where there&#039;s no proofs, for a particular mint like the Philadelphia, Why would a penny show a squared edge all the way around??&nbsp;&nbsp; this is where my confusion lies.&nbsp;&nbsp; but then they were saying that the business strikes could have a squared edge.&nbsp;&nbsp; like I understand!&nbsp;&nbsp; the mirrored and all that other stuff&nbsp; tand&nbsp; the double strike.. I got that. but how can you tell that on something that&#039;s been worn??? technically what I&#039;m asking is if there&#039;s a proof coin for example let&#039;s just take the no s 1990 if she gets into circulation... are you going to be able to tell it&#039;s different from a business strike??&nbsp; if it&#039;s got damage,&nbsp; it has been worn out from being in circulation???&nbsp;&nbsp; these are my questions I&#039;m trying to understand cuz it doesn&#039;t make sense.&nbsp; I can&#039;t find a definitive answer... which is what I need to understand!&nbsp; I&#039;m getting very frustrated lol[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
