<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheNickelGuy, post: 1497654, member: 20201&quot;]I have been on this sellers case about him trying to sell a coin as a proof that to me appears to be an early die state business strike intended for general circulation. He continues to relist it even after eBay has agreed with me.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is an educational post, not to name the seller, but to learn to tell the difference between a proof nickel by the rim characteristics.</p><p><br /></p><p>The seller says this coin came out of a proof set. That proves nothing as anyone could assemble a set of 1938 coins and put them in a Capital plastic screw-down holder for proofs and sluff them off. It may have even been an honest mistake along the way but I&#039;d like to see the rest of that set.</p><p><br /></p><p>Notice on the top and middle left images that the rim is rounded and the rim slopes downward into the field of the coin that is misrepresented.</p><p>On the bottom and middle right the rim is sharp and square and has right angles at the edge and leading into the field from the top of the rim.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]191492.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
