<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 3569355, member: 101855&quot;]I am ignorant on the subject of Proof versus Mint State planchets. I was a aware that the Proof planchets had special preparation, but I didn’t know that they were “pebbled.” I would have thought that they were more brilliant. </p><p><br /></p><p>Given the special care that the mint gives to Proof coins, it’s hard to figure out how this got out of the mint after the rims were upset. These coins are packaged in special holders, not run into rolls like the regular pieces. Was this piece in a capsule and plush box? I guess we will never know because it’s been slabbed. If it was in the box, it must have been a shock for owner when it came to him or her like this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
