I used to be a proof coin

My pocket piece. Broke out of the original plastic and became a victim of a bad attempt to remove spotting, so just decided to carry it around raw

This actually looks better now than when it was minted.

Nice pocket piece . . . Here's mine - Business strike:




Always carry it and a Morgan in the pocket that doesn't have keys, nail clipper, pocket knife, etc.

<< <i>Still a proof as the term "proof" describes a minting process, not a grade. Nice pocket piece... get it nice and slick and then submit it when it's around FR2. >>



If it is in fact a Proof strike, then it can never be designated FR2 (sic) or FA2 - Maybe PR2 or PF2.

Interesting to watch coins wear as pocket pieces......I never carried any for that purpose, but have seen them here and in change... (obviously accidentally spent)... Cheers, RickO

If this coin was wore down to a 2, would there still be something visible to indicate that it was a proof and not a business strike?

Possibly a mintmark if it was still distinguishable.
