Got this one back from PCGS yesterday along with the DDO dime. I took a chance sending it in but with the help of the Coin Community family and all of the resources available here, the risk was worth it.

Unfortunately, the obverse is forward facing but images of the reverse would be mute as it's slabbed now. I did take some horrible images before it was sent off though.

Thank you all for sharing your knowledge and expertise!

Congratulations, its a nice looking coin.

Admittedly, I'm uncertain regarding population of this specific variety & value but I assume, since its a Proof, the population has to be low.

Considering only nickels, that's not always a good assumption. Proof mintages were obviously much lower per die. However, many more examples survive in pristine shape to be identified and graded. The big challenge (as I perceive it) in the circulation strikes is finding a mint state example of a vintage variety that will straight grade. You can see that in the relative populations of graded rare nickel varieties on PCGS, proof vs. business strike.

Very nice lookin coin for sure.
Was the type F reverse supposed to be used on business strike coins?
