l.cutler Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 It's a normal Philadelphia minted business strike cent. Not a no S Proof cent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I agree. Just a regular 1990 business strike. What makes you think it is a proof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henri Charriere Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Not only is it not an "s," but it is not a majority of the English alphabet as well. Proof? Aw jeez... the thing ain't even real! Taking some surplus metal from the strategic scrap pile and giving it to a boot black to shine up does not, a Proof, make. And please do not feed into this "business strike" nonsense. Since the Mayflower landed in 1620, there were only two types of coins: Proofs and circulation strikes. Some of these denizens of the deep find themselves to be better than others, thus the term Uncirculated. Proofs, owing to the nature of their creation retain that descriptor for life. If some card-carrying numismatist commits the unspeakable and dares to liberate such a coin from its OGH, all is not lost. It is assigned a number befitting it's latest visual incarnation, warts and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a regular cent minted in Philadelphia. Only proof coins were minted in San Francisco, of which this coin show's no sign of being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
