I quote from Heritage's weekly coin quiz from last week:
Last week's questions:

1. Which of the following overdates was minted in proof format only?
Correct Answer: 1883/2 Shield Nickel (25%).

My comment: Since when was the 1883/2 Shield Nickel minted in proof format only?

An authorized PCGS dealer, and a contributor to the Red Book.
