Miss Italy21 Valued Member United States 163 Posts	Posted 05/19/2022 10:00 am I found this nice nickel in pocket change. For being on circulation for 22 years, could it be a proof coin I r wrong planchet ? There's hardly a scratch on it. Looks to be in perfect condition and the shine is immense?

nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 05/19/2022 6:55 pm this looks like one of the many 2000D business strike nickels that have an unusually smooth surface and reflective shine Edited by nick10 05/19/2022 6:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 99100 Posts	Posted 05/19/2022 8:18 pm It is a nice looking 22 year old nickel. I wonder if it had spent time in someone's collection for a while before being released back into the wild. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
