The Philadelphia Mint produced 2,405 Proof nickels in 1910 for sale to contemporary collectors. Survivors are readily obtainable in an absolute sense, although they are somewhat scarce when viewed in the stricter context of the Liberty Head series. Although Bowers (A Guide Book of Shield and Liberty Head Nickels, 2006) notes that examples are "usually very beautiful," finding an example with cameo contrast will put you ahead of the game when it comes to building a quality collection. However, expect to pay a price for that quality.

The example to the left was sold by Stack's Bowers Galleries in the August 2023 Global Showcase Auction, where it realized $2,160.
