CrazyB0, thanks for the information! I'm not the slightest informed on grading, toning, natural and cleaning etc. I found this Nickel coin roll hunting so I'm not sure if it was ever in a folder.

So many new "finds" in CRHing are pulling up "collection dumps". These are coins our illustrious relatives take out of the storage media and traipse off to the nearest CoinStar upon our demise, only caring about the cash value of stupid Gramp's coins. Either that or you got thieves dumping collections stolen and those family members needing quick cash for their "fix", whatever that may be. This happens when the older generations die off. Seems to cycle in 12-15 year periods, the "Greatest Generation", the WW2 crowd has all but gone, now the Baby Boomers are dropping like flies.A sad state of affairs, but the price of time and life moves on.

Am I the only one who recognizes this as a proof? It's kinda important, right? If I am wrong, then I will eat only pizza rolls for two days.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Are the "rims" squared off enough to be a proof? John1  |

Beautiful coin! Looks squared to me, but I'm no expert.

spruett001 , I'm with you on a proof coin . If this Nickel was found CRH I would think it wouldn't be in such pristine condition if it was an unc.  |

Spruett001 and John1, I believe it is a proof. I'm mostly a coin collector for "junk" silver and CRH to find it. I found the coin CRH nickels (duh) and I was really stoked when I saw it! The edges on it are really thick as you might can see in the first top picture...that's why I think it's a proof but I'm no "pro" expert on coins but it's my opinion anyway lol! And spruett, I would only eat pizza rolls for 3 days straight even if you're right, cause they're pizza rolls!! Edited by Frogman2000

Whether it's a proof or business strike, it looks great!  |

That's the spirit! I would voluntarily go way more than two days. I like to keep it simple that way. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

I've never even heard of a "SMS" coins before (shows ya how much I truly know about coins). Even if the nickel is one (doubtful) but how would you be able to know if it is?
