History
Proof striking. Proofs were struck for collectors and sold separately from circulating coinage; this is a distinct coin from the 1883 Liberty Head (V) Nickel. Mintage from the source: "The probable explanation is that many of the 6,783 pieces coined in the latter part of 1883 were actually No CENTS proofs.".
