Mickifan77 New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 10/10/2024 10:30 pm I found this hunting rolls today and since I'm a newbie, I hope I can get some help. First of all is this a proof? Secondly, what would you grade it? I've tried to include closeups of any defects in it such as the glob on the date and the marks on the back. I uploaded photos with different lighting to hopefully help you see it better. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 54905 Posts	Posted 10/10/2024 11:04 pm Proof coins are minted in San Francisco, not Denver. Proof coins also have a special finish and come in a proof set. You have a normal, but very nice looking Business Strike cent. https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin...c-dcam/93530 Errers and Varietys.

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7453 Posts	Posted 10/10/2024 11:06 pm to The Community! There were no 1999-D proof coins of any denomination struck at the Denver mint. Proof coins for proof sets were only struck at San Francisco that year. Your coin appears to be a very nice business strike coin.

Marve65 Pillar of the Community United States 4629 Posts	Posted 10/11/2024 12:43 am Pretty nice looking 1999 from a roll. I would say it would go MS64. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/11/2024 04:27 am Mickifan77, You need to filter your light,way too much glare. In "that year" proofs have an S mint mark.Also,proof is not a condition, it is a method of manufacturing.
