    Curious what you paid for the coin?

    The coin was in a 1938 proof set EBay purchase for a modest price given the high quality of the five coins.

    Very nice coin and you always do well @SanctionII but why is it a cherrypick?

    Many happy BST transactions

    It is possible that the coin has enough frost on the sun to warrant a cameo designation. Good luck!

    My definition of a cherrypick is a coin that has features which set it apart from a normal example of the particular coin (i.e. a variety, a rainbow toner, a Cameo) that you are able to acquire at the price of a normal example of the same coin.

    The 1938 half has mirrored fields, frosted devices (including the sun and the sun's rays) and may warrant a Cameo designation.

    It thus is a cherrypick IMO, in fact the entire proof set is a cherry pick as all five coins are gorgeous.

    I might quibble with the terminology, but it is definitely a “Score!”

    Is this from the one that was listed at $2k OBO?

    ChrisH821.

    No, it was not listed at $2K OBO.

    I will have to look at the nickel to see what reverse it has.
