CentSation Pillar of the Community United States 713 Posts	Posted 01/19/2022 12:22 am I have a copy of the book, "A Mercenary's Guide to the Rare Coin Market," by David Hall and he describes the 1936 satin proof as 'totally undesirable' and to avoid it. I am curious to know if others feel this way, too. Edited by CentSation 01/19/2022 12:24 am Report this Post to the Staff

Is this the Buffalo nickel satin proof or some other coin? Thx.

I remember reading that the satin proofs weren't very popular when they came out, but I would gladly add any 1936 proof to my eclectic collection. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff

There are so few 1936 proofs, I'd take either! Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
