I wasn&#039;t completely certain that it was the BBB from the auction images, but now I am. I&#039;ll quickly post some images. I note that the L has the same &quot;ghost&quot; of the regular B used for most 1909 nickels on the left hand side that the proof examples show. Also a hint of the &quot;hook&quot; at the top of B where the regular B extends the upper loop to the right. Seems to me that the proof and circulation BBB either came from the same die, or the dies were created from the same BBB hub.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1699085[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>(Sorry about the pointer in the eyepiece but I can&#039;t do anything about it)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1699086[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1699087[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1699088[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1699089[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the collage of the proof examples I did a while ago to compare.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1699090[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
