curlyone New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 10/13/2022 3:05 pm Hi, Looking for opinions on this coin. Is it a business or proof strike.? Describe the main factor that influenced your decision. The picture has been lightened to better see details. Thanks Curly1 Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Bedrock of the Community United States 48554 Posts	Posted 10/13/2022 3:10 pm Not my area but looks none proof,does not look like a sharp strike or squared off rims. If it is a proof, it would be an impaired proof. John1 ( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion ) Searched 6.5 +/- Million Cents Since 1971 Report this Post to the Staff

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 26163 Posts	Posted 10/13/2022 3:52 pm I'm not seeing any signs of a proof surface, even in the most protected areas of the surface. My guess is this is a business strike. Here's photos of a proof. Report this Post to the Staff
bandsdean Pillar of the Community United States 2108 Posts	Posted 10/13/2022 5:29 pm Well, the date positions are different so at the very least they were stuck by 2 different dies. Go to Heritage and look to see if there are more dies used to strike the proofs. Report this Post to the Staff

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 2562 Posts	Posted 10/14/2022 09:47 am Certainly a business strike due to the quality of the detail and the flat rims. For a Three Cent Nickel, this has a decent strike. Report this Post to the Staff
