Quote: Completed a box over the weekend. It put us over the 100 boxes search milestone. Highlight of the hunt was a 1943S silver, and a few other S minted Jeffersons (1940S, 1948S and 1952S). I've posted our totals for finds below. It took us about 3 years to search the 100 boxes, and we've had a blast over that time. Still missing 1 nickel (1942S) to complete the set from circulation. Hopefully that find will come soon! Well done!

Hi all! Completed a box of nickels over the weekend. Highlights were a AU 1955D, a 1942P Silver, a 2014 Canadian Nickel we needed for our book and a first for us: 1963 Philadelphia Proof Nickel:  We've been hoping for a proof that wasn't a San Francisco one, and finally got one!

nice find! How is the easiest way to tell a coin like that is proof vs. just a gem unc coin? Since theres no S mintmark

Dadsoncoinhobby, great finds! It's rare to find Proofs coins in circulation, as it doesn't happen too often. It usually happens when they're accidentally or intentionally spent.

@1962penny - the mirror finish is the giveaway along with more squared rims. The AU type coins will have luster and shine but not a mirror finish.
