I bought the following coin at the ANA. It is, in my opinion and according to my research, a Proof Columbian Half. There are Prooflike Columbians known, but this meets the criteria of a legitimate Proof. There were 103 1892 Proofs struck. You like?

I dont know if it is a proof but it is not AT....

The fields are fully mirrored, but I had trouble picking up the mirrors without reflections. The devices have a light "frost". I showed the coin to several people who specialize in this area, including some whom have owned multiple examples. The majority say "Proof", whereas a couple said "Prooflike". I may send this one in to get certified. I would probably only grade PF-60 (+/-), due to some hairlines. Does have nice color though!

The key diagnostic is the strike quality. The ship on the reverse must have full sail lines. Islemangu, how's the strike on your coin (reverse)?

Is this the only diagnostic that the grading services would use to determine if it's proof or business strike?
It looks beautiful to me!!
