Proof or not ?

[1949threepence 3,367]

Have a look at the 1889 penny in this link

It's advertised for sale by The Flyer 66, who I know to be a reliable seller, who I have bought off several times, and been very pleased with the items. He thinks it is a possible proof, and indeed, it does look a bit like one, albeit, possibly impaired.

Thoughts as to whether proof or not ?

At thie time of posting this thread, the auction end is imminent, and the current bid £155.00

That'll be a "don't know" then

The final price will tell

Well the final price - 227 - was consistent with a "no", but that was my choice anyway. It is possible to find quite PL silver and some copper of this era as well.
