Bigwho808 Valued Member United States 192 Posts	Posted 01/30/2023 6:05 pm Hey Guys, Is this nickel a special finish I can't tell. It looks like it was made on a regular business strike die. I found this in pocket change and it doesn't look like it has a proof finish. What do you think? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34458 Posts	Posted 01/30/2023 6:49 pm Still a fun find. I save things like this in 2x2s even if they aren't worth much over face value.
