Mc10139 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I cant seem to find any info on prestige proof set error coins. I found two years in the 60s that have errors but nothing for 86. The 86 penny has some doubling on both sides. See pics. The obverse I and reverse across the tops and backs of most lettering has "shiny" marks.Very obvious when looking at it but hard to see in pics because the proof surface. Let me know if this is worth sending in and having graded as a set! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prestige Proof sets only started in 1983. You couldn't have seen any from the 60's. You need to be extraordinarily careful about what you think you see in ANY Prestige Proof set. The coins are highly reflective and so is the inside surface of the plastic cover. Repeated interior reflections are a constant problem. What you are seeing here is likely the result of internal reflections. Edited August 26, 2019 by VKurtB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mc10139 Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 Thank you for the response! Your right, as I was looking at the wrong column for the prestige sets, however, the outlines arent reflections. They look like scrapes in the metal, I'll set up my cannon camera and try to get some clear shots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be really nice, but the edges of the plastic "cells" near the coins can be a bear when trying to get a clear shot. Been there, tried that. But, good luck!

Mc10139 Posted August 27, 2019 Author Share Posted August 27, 2019 Finally got new batteries for my loupe and my cannon eos set up for the money shot.....Haha literally the money shot. I know these are supposed to be the best of the best so is this common or extremely rare that the mint missed it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conder101 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Looks like split plating. Not that uncommon. They also show the "orange peel" surfaces often seen on proof zinc cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
