<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clint, post: 1475701, member: 34620&quot;]I have looked at those Franklins under 10x, and I think they are proofs.&nbsp; The surface is very weird, however--perhaps corroded--in that it looks like sandpaper with a mirror surface.&nbsp; I have now looked more closely at 2 other Franklin proofs which have the same surface.&nbsp; Would it be appropriate to call them &quot;impaired proofs?&quot;&nbsp; I am so far assuming the damage came from improper storage, and I haven&#039;t taken them out of the holders, yet.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I did get some MS70 and experimented on some 1964 quarters and halves...just for technique.&nbsp; I won&#039;t touch anything pre-64 until/unless I feel really comfortable with it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
