Either its a proof or somebody went to great lengths with a mini-dremel polisher! Whoaa! Nice!  |

Well struck, but not a proof in my opinion.

Nearly wire edged lower obverse especially. Flat fields. Strong strike. I'd vote for proof.

What about the weak LIBERTY?

The eye lacks detail. Looks blank like those ancient Greek statues. Liberty is weak, but I don't know? I wouldn't buy it as proof.  |

I would buy it, but not for much. It looks like AU 58 Dets cleaned at worst, PF 62/63 at best.

You can do better elsewhere; buy it certified.

The denticles are weak. Looks like a business strike to me.

Since they only made 960 1871 3˘ nickel coins, I would assume that only one die was used. If that is true, then the subject can not be a proof because the date is not located in the same spot.  |

The rims tell me it is not a proof.

Weak rim at 11:00 on the obverse, weak LIBERTY, weak hair. No way this is a proof.
If you're going to buy a proof classic slabbed is the way to go.
