Kevine84 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I have never seen anything like this Super struck high relief and so brilliant the pix are impossible to take anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Is that the right colour? Looks like it may be plated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKK Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 That's my suspicion as well. Replated before undergoing circulation. It could be a loose proof, I suppose, but something doesn't add up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevine84 Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 It is a uniform and very mirror like surface the reverse is easier to see the Lincoln obverse is so high relief it picks up any color Greenland 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevine84 Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 Quote would the mint do this? I'd say the strike is incredible which makes it seem interesting at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevine84 Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 onno, its more than lighting I had 2 to 10 pennies out of the same coins just grade ms-68 ANACS. this pales them by the likelihood is gold plating I'm thinking now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbbpll Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 The last images do look like a normal proof to me. I don't know how you obtained it, but my understanding is that some collectors buy a set but are only interested in one of the proofs and just spend the other small denominations.

So trying to sell it might take longer than necessary if you bought the proof set just for one of the other coins included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conder101 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 That is a normal proof coin, The rev does show a little cameo but it would not get graded as such because 1 it isn't cameo enough, and 2 it has to be cameo on both sides to get the designation. After looking at this coin you can see why we get frustrated with all the people that come around with normal business strike 1990 cents, 1968, or 75 dimes and ask if it is the rare "No S" variety. If it doesn't look like the one that you have it is NOT a proof and in is not the "No S". Sorry rant has nothing to do with you, just needed to say it.

Kevine84 Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share Posted May 14, 2020 I humbly disagree, its not just another proof Here a nice proof CAM with it its more mirror finish Off to grade tomorrow. Where I got it? Indiana A dealer collection pillaged by family It sat for 11 years Now its mine and I am liquidating many coins he collected error coins and interesting things.

l.cutler Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I see absolutely nothing out of the ordinary, just a normal proof. There are differences in cameo and surfaces in proof coins, especially after they have been around for a number of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you are right. so that will be my basis. its included in a submission with a couple other error coins including a 1960 Franklin PR6X FBL with reverse hub doubling. same basis situation. just another proof too RonnieR131 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonnieR131 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 That's a very nice coin. The reverse looks deep and almost perfect. It's probably plated, the ears and hair and beard look filled in, particularly the ear. I wish I had it 'in hand', I'd take off running for the car, go home and study it a little closer.
