<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bob Evancho, post: 2992156, member: 84595&quot;]Every coin minted comes from a die that has its own unique die characteristics.&nbsp; It is imperative to study and compare the die characteristics for the coin one suspects might be a rarity other than a business strike such as a circulated proof error.&nbsp; Although the pictures aren&#039;t the best, I would surmise the coin in question is a circulation strike.&nbsp; A more detailed examination under a microscope for know die characteristics for the no S 1971 proof nickel would prove beyond a doubt the circulation strike die characteristics rather than the no S proof characteristics.&nbsp; When questionable there is always a TPG service.&nbsp; I would respect the decision of many of the older long time collector/dealer members on Coin Talk.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
