<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 752458, member: 66&quot;]On the shield nickels you can&#039;t depend on the squared edge to identify a proof.&nbsp; Identifying proofs from business strikes on this series is an exercise in frustration.&nbsp; And you can&#039;t count on the TPG&#039;s to get it right either.&nbsp; (Although the investors don&#039;t seem to care and will happily pay silly money for common proofs in MS holders.)&nbsp; The TPG&#039;s seem to know they have a problem with this so they will tend to put anything that MIGHT be a proof in a proof holder rather than risk being on the hook for MS money if they put a coin in an MS holder and it is later called a proof.&nbsp; Unfortunately there is no diagnostic I can tell you that will let you say for sure &quot;AH HA!&nbsp; See here!&nbsp; This definitely shows that it&#039;s a ______ coin!&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
