IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36638 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

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 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. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?
