Good reference on Matte Proof Buffalo Nickels?

ChrisH821

I've done some searching but can't really seem to find a thorough reference book or website on matte proof buffalo nickels.
Ideally I'm looking for an illustrated reference with die identifiers, characteristics, etc. Anyone have suggestions for this?
I see there are a few reference books on Wizard but not sure which would have more information on Proofs, or if there is something else out there.

It's been a long time since I accessed David Lange's Buffalo Nickel Book.

He had a separate section dealing with proofs by date.

I don't know how the Wexler and Flynn book compares, but it's probably good.

Look for:
1. Triangular die chip at top of D, pointing backwards
2. Long die line on rim below buffalo's head
as pictured in the above thread.
