Description
This is the more rare variety of the proof 1880 nickel, that has the same obverse diagnostics of the business strike 1880 nickel (a repunched date appearing in the second 8), and without the diagnostic of proofs that is missing from true business strikes (a connection between the first 8 in the date with the lower part of the shield). Although this is a proof coin, some proofs are more similar to business strikes than others, and this is one of them. This is a lovely CAC-approved coin.
