westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 01/11/2023 3:40 pm These coins are next to impossible to tell if business strike or proof strike sometimes. The only sure fire way is to match the die pairing up. Here is a link to Allan Gifford's rare and hard to find "Ultimate Guide to U.S. Three Cent Nickels 1865-1889" book you can download a PDF to keep or just use it online. The scans are not great, I usually keep this one online and use the Internet Archive enhancement tools to help aid me to lighten/darken flip inverese or adjust contrast in their viewer. https://archive.org/details/guideus...ord/mode/1up "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18664 Posts	Posted 01/12/2023 3:39 pm personally I wouldnt touch this one without better photos. looks like the obv does have prooflike qualities. good chance its an impaired proof. but if you have interest I would use the link westcoin posted to locate the matching die pairings. do your homework is the best advice I can give Report this Post to the Staff
