  1. Thanks for your very detailed response. I think my friend might be gaslighting me. As someone who just casually started this, I'm curious as to what "deeply mirrored fields" means. Also now he's saying people are selling non proof versions for 40,000 USD. And now he's telling me to look up a "clad proof"
  2. I mainly have two questions. What can the blackening be? And how to tell if a dime is a proof dime or not
  3. Lol my friend isn't an expert, he's a very casual hobbyist. I'll have pics when I'm off work, and "on film" was more natural sounding than "in pixels"
  4. I've got a 1975 dime that looks like it's made from some black metal. It doesn't look like fire damage and it doesn't look like paint. My friend is saying that means it's probably a proof dime. Is there any way to verify this? I'll post pics later, but it looks much blacker to the eye than it does on film.
