<p>[QUOTE=&quot;valente151, post: 1557067, member: 27564&quot;]The fields look pitted.... May just be the picture but that could cause worry. I must say though it is sharp eagle if it isn&#039;t a proof and it has decent denticles, but the reverse leaves at the top right are fairly weak. I would definitely say AT though at least on the obverse for a start. Could be a proof, could be a business strike. In my experience though examining Proof flying eagles, I remember the digits in the date being flat, not rounded as these appear. Not trying to put the coin down, just analyzing it. I am leaning towards a doctored business strike, whether to make it appear as a proof or just a pretty coin for an unknowledgable collector I don&#039;t know.</p><p><br /></p><p>Looking further, the pittedness extends into the &quot;one cent&quot; on the reverse, which indicates postmint damage, as if it was some sort of polish/finish on the die, it most likely would only be seen in the fields.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
