<p>[QUOTE="WeirdFishes, post: 1746878, member: 41261"]Die polish line extends on a slight downward angle from the tip of the nose approximately 1/4". A couple other die polishing lines can be seen just below this nose line. This picture just barely shows the nose line. My phone camera is not capable of taking super detailed zoom pictures. The edge of the coin is really a mirror finish. I can't reconcile the idea of this being a business strike with all the evidence pointing to this being a 09 VDB Proof. The rim of the coin is clearly square and what's more is the rim is of the proper width and of even width around the entire circumference. I can clearly see the die polish line extending from lincoln's nose and additional polish lines extending from Lincoln's back up to the R and T in LIBERTY. Last, on the reverse I can make out the 3rd diagnostic that being a small die imperfection between the M in UNUM and the top of the wheat grains. I'm trying to provide better pics but the new forum format is not playing nicely with my smart(dumb) phone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
