This is my second box of nickels and I've found 2 War Nickels, 1943-D and 1945-S, a 1991 proof, and what I think may be a 1945-P proof? Can help me figure out if it is a proof or not? It is very brilliant in color. Thanks guys! If better pics are needed I can provide them

Arael -
Probably not a proof - looks to be a polished coin. Not sure the point in doing it - I've found a few like that and they always seems to be silver coins.

Definitely not a proof, as no proof coins were struck in the US from 1943 to 1949

Not a proof. No proof's struck for that year.

Nice find regardless! Some silver is better than no silver.
