I have seen a 1936 Satin Proof nickel but not a 1936 MS nickel. How similar are they in appearance? Is it easy to confuse the two coins or can they easily be distinguished?

    I would imagine many folks might look at a 1936 satin proof and not realize that the coin is proof and not a business strike.

    1936 usiness strikes occasionally have proof-like fields so they can be somewhat similar at first glance. However, certain strike characteristics make the two easy to differentiate when viewed side by side.
