<p>[QUOTE="mcarney1173, post: 730167, member: 18741"]I recently purchased a nice Uncirculated 1936 Buffalo Nickel for $5.50. When I got home and looked in the price guide I found that 36' was a year of Proof Nickels too. I took a closer look at the coin and noticed huge die polish lines everywhere on the coin especially in the field beneath the buffalo's head. It does not look cleaned at all. The coin has a lot of light yellow toning and a cleaning would have taken that off. Could this actually be a proof? Are there any other ways to determine whether it is or not. Will try to post pics this afternoon.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
