This is the 1885 nickel I sumitted to PCGS -- I'm curious to see what your opinion is as to whether it's proof or business strike?

Guess it was pretty close -- the grades were posted today. A mixed bag:
1 60107744 1885 5C PR64CA
Bought this as a business strike -- PR is a big disappointment. It is definitely prooflike and I talked to the dealer I bought it from about how he could tell it was MS. He told me it was because it didn't have square edges. I'll post pictures of this one to see what the board thinks (may be hard to see the edges from the pictures I have, but what the heck)...
The coin looks like it is lustrous vice totally mirrored to me. The strike however is superb so it might be a proof. I will stick with MS.

Can I help it if my lucky guess was the same as the PCGS grader's lucky guess?

I don't remember the exact number, but it was the MS one...

Yeah, I think you cheated too. I should have posted this thread first....
I just bought my MS 1886 from a board member and that was my biggest fear in buying sight unseen. PCGS cannot be fully trusted.
Send it back for review. PCGS might have made a mistake.
And this one? Proof or MS?
