<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1236795, member: 11521&quot;]A <u>good</u> photo would certainly help. But to answer your question, does the presence of a wire rim mean the coin is a Proof? No. Wire rims are created when the coin is struck under high pressure and the metal flows between the edge of the die and the collar.

There are many other things to look for to determine if a coin is a Proof.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
