Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals.

1936 Satin proofs will show more detail than brilliant proofs. This is because die polishing removed fine details.
Quite true. I recently bought a high grade 1936 Satin Finish Proof Nickel. The coin has the best presentation of Fraser Indian / Bufflalo Nickel design that I have ever seen. It is nicer than the 1913 two Matte Proof nickels I have and the 1937 Proof Nickel I've collected as a type piece. It is a very attractive coin, and I paid quite a bit less for it than I would have paid for the 1936 nickel in brilliant Proof.

Those who have a copy of the book United States Proof Coins 1936-1942 can check page 104 where 1916 and 1936 proof cents are illustrated. Other illustrations show the differences between Satin and Brilliant 1936 proofs.

That's a T1/Satin. My preference over the T2. Tough to get nice ones. Sorry, I can't help.
