Without the Dino-Lite LEDs making it look Blue. I promise that is not MS-70!

    The feathers would seem to indicate 'no'.

    I've had the same question about several pieces I've owned . . .the proofs tend to jump out a bit more . .

    Could in fact be a proof...however, it's the bluest IHC I've ever seen listed on this forum!! image

    Doesn't look like a proof - it would have a much better strike.

    That is coming from the LED lighting on the Dino-Lite. Will try reshooting without.

    Looking at the ridges I would say MS.

    I have a hard time with these. My initial reaction is not a proof.

    I think I can see some die polishing or the reverse and
    I have owned a couple of PR 62 an 63 indians so I am not in total agreement with the statement that its not a good enough strike.
    It could be a proof ?I would get on coinfacts and use the images they have for a diagnostic reference
    Give the laziest man the toughest job and he will find the easiest way to get it done.

    Although professional opinions have alredy been rendered, I see nothing here that makes me think it is a proof. Nice biz strike tho

    To me, this appears to be a late die state business strike. I have an 09 P in MS 65 RD in a PC OGH. Its strike is better than this coin.

    It doesn't have the strike, the edges or the reflective surfaces of a Proof. I'm not being facetious here, but why would you even think the coin might be a Proof?

    I don't think it's a LDS. I think that's just the photos.

    And no, it is not a proof.

    Mainly because I was told another coin in the book I am selling was a proof and this one looked very similar, and so I wanted to be sure before I listed it. I really have not spent much time with proof IHC's and so I played "ask the experts"

    Thanks for your comment.

    To turn the question around….What factors make you think it is a proof?
