No, I think I got a proof Maybe that was listed as an UNC. Even if it isn't a Proof ( which I think it could be ) I got a nice nickel.
That's all, Thanks.

It's here: I am going to get my mask on and take it out of the holder and get real serious with a better set of pictures. Looking good with maybe a bit of frosting on the reverse.

The verdict is in we are 95% sure this is a proof.
I took better pictures. Sent them to an expert and we both think this is a proof.

I would but that would be sorta rubbing this in the sellers nose, don'tcha think?
If the table was turned, and I have blundered myself a time or two, for sure, I would not wan't someone to do that to me.
Besides, this little fishing hole might produce another lucky nickel for me in the future.
