wheatguy Pillar of the Community United States 1534 Posts	Posted 10/16/2009 10:36 pm I was looking over some change recently and found what I though was a BU nickel, but after examining it closely I realized it was a proof. I know it isn't much, but it was really surprising. It isn't that reflective, but I sort of figured it was a proof by the strong strike and 5 steps. Is it rare to find to find a proof, rarer than silver, and has anyone here found a proof in change? Report this Post to the Staff

DNA Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 10/16/2009 11:42 pm I got a 1971-S Proof Quarter in my change this month, and I gave it to a co-worker who was born in 1971! I've found several Proofs in my change, over the years... The 'best' would be my 1956 Proof Dime (a few spots, but nice fields). I do also have a stunning full-red 1966 Cent (found in change years ago) that appears to be from a 1966 Special Mint Set. Edited by DNA 10/16/2009 11:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
