Does this look proof to you?

I always worry about posting ebay auctions in case I offend another forum member. I like the look of this 10 francs piece but I don't think it is proof finish. What do you think?

10 francs

    looks "proofish". image Hard to tell from the scan, but there is some cameo happenin' on the rev.

    It's hard to tell with a scan. In a scan, BU coins exhibit some of the same characteristics one would expect from a proof.

    Yep, hard to tell anything from a scan, but those whitish spots could be PVC damage.... maybe? It has a weird color for silver. image

    first became interested in cardboard at the age of three. since then i have collected varying examples of textures, corregation grades, glue types, etc. from all over the world. Finding this site and fellow collectors who are as equally devoted to the phenomenon has brought a whole new point, purpose and meaning to my exsitence.

    Hi Wayne, my icon coin is a 1902 Edward VII Coronation Medal. Not expensive either. image
