Message:: [QUOTE="Jim sullivan, post: 3519334, member: 100154"]Yes, it is reflective on liberty as well as the field. Same way a 1956 Franklin Proof would be if it was kickin around in change for a year. I have checked this thing high and low with every trick and method i can find and have found zero evidence of it ever having been whizzed or scrubbed or shined up in any abrasive way. The "mirror" effect is also in places youd never be able to effectively alter. Im not saying there may not have been a dip or 2 over the last 125 years. If we were to assume that the reflective quality and overall condition are genuine. If you disagree, PLEASE TELL ME WHY, and how to confirm that. Please.   A PL or DMPL will have the frosted look to the devices when deemed so by the grading gods, but would that frosting wear off in circulation? And would this not be the result?  PL and DMPL are conditions. Proof is a type of coin production. A circulated proof is still a proof. How would you then tell the difference between a PL or DMPL and a PROOF. Does anyone know a specific pip to check? Its 1930, you dont have a job, your kids starvin, but your dad gave you this pretty coin a while back. Its gettin spent. I realize its a long shot and i dont care what the verdict is. But i want to establish for sure what I actually do have. Thank you all again for your input.[/QUOTE]
