Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 03/10/2018 12:54 pm The nickel is still CuNi, no Ag, just dime,quarter,half in a silver proof set, then there's the clad proofs, same cent/nickel all the way. Too bad for the inflated prices they should make the cent gold and nickel solid silver! Edited by Crazyb0 03/10/2018 12:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 190660 Posts	Posted 03/10/2018 11:54 pm Once again, the Canadians do something we cannot figure out how to do ourselves. The US silver proof sets have the same cent, nickel, and dollar coins that the US clad proof sets have. If you buy both sets you will have duplicates of the non-silver coins.

Similar to how they did it with the cent in the 2009 proof and UNC sets going back to being copper. Maybe they will do that in 2042 or something to commemorate WWII. Report this Post to the Staff
