[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 1678308, member: 307"]ok, all this is not my field of expertise in the least, but I do have "A Guide Book of Shield and Liberty Head Nickels" written by Bill Favaz and Q. David Bowers and it says the following: [color=red] 1884 Proof Strikes - characteristics and appearance: Deeply mirrored fields are the rule. Most proofs are well struck, but check the hair details on the obverse and the ear of corn to the left of the ribbon bow on the reverse. One die has the 1 dramatically double punched, most evident on the base; the top of the 1 pierces the neck truncation of Miss Liberty. At least two other obverse dies are used as well. [/color] The certified populations suggest that most proofs grade within the PF 63-66 range and that proofs are generally attractive and well struck. This is all of the info given on 1884 proofs. I hope that it helps.[/QUOTE]
