    I'd guess PR68. Although I'll be the first to admit grading proofs is not my strong point!

    i think a time will come when toning like that is considered bad and
    people will want a proof penny that looks like it was freshly minted,
    not a rainbow of colors.

    nice condition though! i just do not like my copper to look like that.

    Are you going to submit it?

    Edited to add: Never mind - not worth it unless is goes in an inexpensive bulk submission.

    wouldnt face value = 90 cents.......not a very strong offer (it may have been done tongue in cheek in which event i'll admit to missing the joke)

    Good looking coin. That toning is common on the 70 sets, and less common on the others. The picture is excellent, as that toning is difficult to capture.

    If that's PVC damage, I'm going to start collecting PVC damaged coins......

    Whats the criteria to win the "You Suck" award?

    And is "Coinsarefun" authorized to give it out?

    Just curious, I thought it had to be a $10K+ cherry pick.

    This may be a "You wish" award image Utah, you may have pulled the trigger a little early on your sig line.
