So I finally get around to breaking down that Canadian collection I recently bought and wondering if this 1954 1c is NSS? Coin is proof-like.

In researching the Heritage pictures it appears to be the strap variety. $20 instead of $1000. Oh well.

Hello,

Charlton gives the I of DEI as one of the indicators. If the I points to a denticle then it is the more common shoulder fold or strap, if not then it is the NSF

Agreed, not the rarity. On the rare 1954 NSF the I in DEI flares and the edges of it line up with 2 denticles. On the common 1954 SF the I isn't flared, and it lines up almost straight on a single denticle.

This is the shoulder strap coin.

As stated, the common variety but still a very nice coin.

it is easy to see the SS.
the NSF has a flared I in DEI, as stated by pokermandude
