The 1884 Proof Liberty Head Nickel comes from a mintage of 3,942 Proofs, examples of which Q. David Bowers (A Guide Book of Shield and Liberty Head Nickels, 2006) describes as "usually attractive and well struck."

The example to the left was sold by Stack's Bowers Galleries in the August 2011 Chicago ANA Auction, where it realized $2,300.
