    Hi mates,

    I would like opinions from any numi experts here. Would you grade this coin Proof or Bullion Strike.
    The first picture is defiantly a proof like coin, just so you can have a comparison. I will add more pictures if requested to help with your decisions

    Opinions on the next 3 pics......Thank you.

    Me too. The surfaces are too uneven to be a proof strike IMO.

    The one on the right is a frosted proof, the one on the left looks like a good solid business strike. In a puritans world, the planchet isnt polished judging by the irregularity
