1860 Proof Indian Cent ??

Hi All,

Is this an 1860 Proof Indian Cent ??
It's NOT the best photography, but I do NOT see the sharp, squared-off edges.

Any input would be great.

Thanks,

Chris

    I had what I thought was a proof Indian cent - mirror fields and frosty devices. I showed it to an expert coin dealer and he knew immediately that it was not a proof coin by looking at the edges/rims.

    Silver Eagle 1974: Hard to tell if it is or not from the photo. I does look nicely struck, as most 1860 cents are. Some of the proofs from this issue are singly struck so beveled edges aren't necessarily a thumbs down for determining proof status .
