A proof?

Are NGC capable of telling the difference?

Even if is a proof he's asking for £2,750 when it catalogues at £1,500.

He lists in a large font in ALL CAPS in blue so the seller's a dork to be
avoided, and he has private feedback. Billy

The NGC (as well as the other grading "services") are probably no more
capable of telling the difference than are the experts (dealers and
collectors) who frequently post on this site. Also he is clearly a "dork" (A
stupid, inept, or foolish person). I would avoid him like the bird flu, or
worse.

What is the tell that it isn't a proof? Though the images of the fields
offer no clue, the devices appear to be exceptionally well struck with
needle sharp denticles and rims.

If he sells it he going to make a decent chunk of money (he paid $1650
for it).

My initial impression is, apparently not. Doesn't look like a proof from
those photos.

I am reminded of the band `Supertramp' (now when was the last time you
heard of them?) and their hit entitled `Dreamer'.

As circulation strike coins made by the Royal Mint are of very high quality
it's often very difficult with some issues to tell proofs and non proof
apart. Billy

If you consider the actual number of wreath crowns struck there would be
hardly any wear on the dies even after the last in the run was struck.
The first few hundred in the strike run could easily give the false
impression of being `proofs'......unless you had a comparator on hand.
You either need really good photographs or need to see them in the flesh
to determine.

If you look at the 1927 which was a `proof only' strike and use it as a
comparator, you can tell (fairly readily) the difference between coins
that have proof fields and those which have `prooflike' fields.
