This extremely rare coin was consigned to me at the Baltimore coin show. The coin was put forth as a PROOF by the consigning dealer. As there were only about 100-103 Proofs of this issue ever made I showed it around to several well respected dealers. The consensus was "maybe" There are a few hundred Proof Like and Deep Mirror Proof Like examples which were also struck, those being the first few hundred business strikes. To determine if it is a Proof three factors are considered, the Mirrored fields, which all the dealers agreed it has, two is the squared features, meaning the devices are sharply squared to the fields, again all the dealers agreed here, the third is "wired rims" and sharp reeding, this is where the dealers and myself are unsure. So I would say it is a Proof, but I cannot guarantee such. It is either a Proof or a stunning Proof like/dmpl example. As a Proof, it would be valued at $4000-$5000, as a high end PL example it would be valued at $2000. The heavy toning, while making it an attractive original example, it further makes its determination as a proof difficult. Estimated Value $3000
