<p>[QUOTE="iPen, post: 2789125, member: 69760"]Here's another auction that I came across with a 1913 Type 1 Buffalo nickel that looks to have some very sharply defined features. I didn't win the auction but I'm still curious as to whether or not it's a proof strike. The last one I posted about (<a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1913-buffalo-nickel-type-1-is-this-a-proof-strike.298861/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1913-buffalo-nickel-type-1-is-this-a-proof-strike.298861/">here</a>), we came up with the consensus that it's not a proof strike, but a very well struck business strike with a die crack on the obverse. This one appears to be similarly well struck as that business strike example. But, could it be more than that - a proof, perhaps?</p><p><br /></p><p>There are some areas of wear, such as on the "ED" of "UNITED", and the date doesn't look as squared as the proof example shown below (last pic).</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Pics from the 'net.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]647360[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]647363[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]647362[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
[QUOTE="iPen, post: 2789125, member: 69760"]Here's another auction that I came across with a 1913 Type 1 Buffalo nickel that looks to have some very sharply defined features. I didn't win the auction but I'm still curious as to whether or not it's a proof strike. The last one I posted about ([URL='https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1913-buffalo-nickel-type-1-is-this-a-proof-strike.298861/']here[/URL]), we came up with the consensus that it's not a proof strike, but a very well struck business strike with a die crack on the obverse. This one appears to be similarly well struck as that business strike example. But, could it be more than that - a proof, perhaps? There are some areas of wear, such as on the "ED" of "UNITED", and the date doesn't look as squared as the proof example shown below (last pic). Thanks in advance!
