<p>[QUOTE="Kazmer81, post: 1288608, member: 28885"]Some Type B's have a very proof like obverse too, so judging by the finish might not be very helpful. Though, checking to see if it is centered that could be one way of telling the difference. Also, from the research I have recently gathered, and from observing the 1964 type b I own (I will post a photo here), the type b reverse die rotation is off and I believe that proofs are spot on, can anyone verify this for me? For example, when I hold my type b perfectly upright and flip it over vertically, the reverse rotation is off by about 5 degrees. So I think that is another way of telling. </p><p><br /></p><p>This photo isn't to show the die rotation being off, I adjusted it for the photo when I was selling it on Ebay. Sadly enough, it sold and I have to say goodbye today. I can always get another one when I have money again. Anyway, this coin clearly shows that the obverse is not a proof finish, though it is a very brilliant uncirculated finish. If anyone else knows of any die markers on the obver of type b's, please let me know. Thank you for your time.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]143884.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
