According to the Krause Guide there were no brass MS coins for 1953. Does anyone know, is this a Proof (40,000 minted) or Prooflike (1078 minted)?

    Is there an error in Krause? There were MS 3d coins minted in 1953 - 30.6 million of them.

    That one may be a proof.

    I doubt there was an error in Krause. More than likely my misunderstanding of what the owner of the coin relayed to me. Was this particular issue released as an MS?

    Krause lists 30.6 million currency bits; the PL is actually for the Maundy 3d - no other PLs.
    Proofs = 30,000 minted

    Mattes = unlisted (educated guess 5 or so)

    Yours looks to be a proof.
