<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nightowl, post: 752848, member: 18614&quot;]I looked for awhile on Heritage looking for the projection from the denticles at 7 o&#039;clock on the obverse and never did find one. I just decided that this one didn&#039;t have that feature....or it would be easy to spot.</p><p><br /></p><p>Appreciate the help from both of you guys. This is a real confusing issue, and one that the newbie could never unravel. I&#039;ve been around coins for decades...but I only own 2 shield nickels. This one, and an 1867 in VF.</p><p><br /></p><p>My thinking...and it may be flawed, is that proofs were struck multiple times, which would bring up the wire (squared or beveled) edge, and would render the lettering on the reverse more fully. I think this coin was struck but once. But I&#039;m not a TPG...that&#039;s just my own opinion....but based on logic at least.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nightowl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
