sich0015 Valued Member United States 255 Posts	Posted 12/22/2010 9:36 pm I found this in a roll and it seems like a proof to me. It looks like a mirror, the rim is nice and sharp, and I never see that many steps on a normal circulated nickel from the 60s but then again it may just be BU. Can anyone tell if this was broken out of a proof set? Report this Post to the Staff

sich0015 Valued Member United States 255 Posts	Posted 12/23/2010 10:02 am I'm probably using the wrong terminology. I said impaired because it was in circulation and no longer in a set. Report this Post to the Staff
