Message:: [QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 2674600, member: 19250"]I will have to agree  with  Doug with on this one...here's  why. 3,942 proofs minted,they rank 26th in proof, date seems to be available  in all certified  grades except 67 & 68. In 64 they are ranked 27th.Proof of this year can be considered  common,except as stated 67 and above coins.This date was hoard and is pretty  common due to being hoarded.There are two varieties  obv 1  normal date,obv.2 doubling  on the base of 1 RPD from strong to weak . Rev. Type B.This is the RPM 1 Rev.type B coin.Another interesting  point Is that in 1884 the mint purchased  some 2000 lbs. of English  and German  nickel for use in minting these coins.The nickel was proved so unmalleable and add to  serious  delay and impeded coining operations. The reference  that I'm  using shows that there  is quite a different  in between ms 60-61 , 62, 63, showing the lower grades are rarer ,@64 seems to be the norm range on the 84 proof date,and again a much lower  population  on 65 coins. And 66 somewhere  in the 75-100 known range.You  have a very nice Variety  specimen  and chances of it going up by a point are slim to none. Leave it be....she sweet where she sits.[/QUOTE]
