- Not even close examination reveals so much as a single trivial distraction across the untouched surfaces of this delightful Satin Proof. Beautifully toned, we note blushes of powder blue peripheral iridescence that frame otherwise golden-tinged surfaces. Thoroughly executed and impressively silken in-hand. It is generally believed the satin finish 1936 Proof nickels were the first struck, followed by the brilliant finish Proofs later in the year. The change was probably made because the Satin Proofs were often confused with circulation strikes. It is unknown how many of each type were coined, only that the total Proof mintage was 4,420 coins, but Roger W. Burdette estimates the mintage of the Satin issue at 2,614 pieces in his 2016 reference <em>United States Proof Coins: 1936-1942</em>.
