Coop ty I appreciate it. 2 of 3 of pennies have a d just can't quite tell large or small. I didn't think nickel was proof because its not in a set and I have a small idea of what proofs look like compared to others. Just not 200% of anything. So I will gladly study any book I have to to learn I just got impatient lol

I know that proof coins 99.9% of the time have the S mint mark, but afaik they will never have a P or D mint mark. Also, a coin with an S mint mark is not necessarily a proof. Its all very confusing huh

Edit: coop coming in with the fresh info again. I guess there is at least one proof with a different mint mark. Coins are crazy.

Well there is one that is a proof that is from Philadelphia since 1980 that has a 'P' mintmark on it.
Is-1997-P-Nickel-Frosted-Matte?
All pre 1965 proof coins do not have a 'P' mintmark that were proof nickels. (The War years did have P Mintmarks on them as mentioned above, but they were not proofs. But they were business strike nickels. (Type Two Nickels) 1909-1916 had the matte proof coins. No more until 1936 when they started the proof sets back up again. 1936-1942 1950-1964. After that most of the Proof coins were made in San Francisco. The one I mentioned from Philly and the others from West Point.

Satin finish on some coins as well:
Cents:
The 1965-1967 SMS were also in all denominations, but there were no mintmarks on these.
2005-2008 Plain and Denver:

https://www.PCGS.com/cert/30843862
Higher grade examples only in BU. (MS-69, MS-70

Quote:

quote from PCGS on the Cents: Jaime Hernandez:

From 2005-2012 the Mint produced Special Satin Finish Mint Sets. Each Mint Set contained an example of every circulating coin in a specially struck burnished planchet. For the Lincoln Cent this was also the last year in which the Mint used the Memorial cent design.

Most 2008-D Satin Finish Lincoln cents were struck very well, with many examples grading MS67 and higher. Coins in MS68 are a bit difficult to find but yet, still available. In MS69, they become more difficult with possibly a few hundred examples that grade MS69.

Nickels:
The 1965-1967 SMS were also in all denominations, but there were no mintmarks on these.
SMS 1997-P:

But note the strike on this coin. They are EDS examples in MS-69 and MS-70 high grades.

Your coin is not one of these. Note the die flow lines on your coin. These don't have that.
Also on the 2005- 2010 P and D. There were Satin Nickels:

Is-1997-P-Nickel-Frosted-Matte?
These are the Satin Finish examples. Again note the totally clear fields and freshest die state for these. Also High grade only examples.

Quarters:

Although the information on this area doesn't call this a satin finish, I feel PCGS just forgot to add that information. The coin clearly is a satin finish coin.

I think you are referring to the 1994 and 1997 type finishes on nickels found in the 1997 Botanic Garden Coinage & Currency Set, and previous 1994 Thomas Jefferson Coinage and Currency Set.

Is-1997-P-Nickel-Frosted-Matte?

The 1994-P Matte Finish Jefferson nickel had a mintage of 167,703, which is derived from the final sales total for the Coinage and Currency Set.

The The 1997-P Matte Finish Jefferson nickel had a mintage of just 25,000

You have a common circulated 1887 P business strike.

Just a normal nickel. The finish and die state is not there for one of the satin coins.

Yes yorkish all of this is hard lol. I've always wanted to do and know more and I find .I actually find dumping out the change jar and sorting and going through. pretty sure I'm not the only one here though so its alright & & I didn't know liking error coins was a whole seperate thing so that was surprising. I actually thought all. Coin collectors wanted did& & & & I was wrong. So yea I had sidenote with that because I'd like to know but I didn't think it could be one. I know what I have is damage but it LOOKS alike something if I started seeing proofs roo lock me away & &

Even the circulation injuries low the grade. The only one making money on this one is the grading companies. They charge you $50 to grade a 5 cent coin. Doesn't make sense to me.

Thank you so much everybody. I really appreciate the info. To be honest, coop I dreaded and hoped you'd comment at the same time & & . I've been reading others for awhile and you're one of the commentors I've seen the most and know what you're talking about. But I didn't want to look like a goof lol. Thank you, really all of you for being nice and honest. I will take all this advice and hope to get that RedBook soon. Tnj, I did not know they were a set like that so thank you for letting me know. I mean no one would complain if they did find that million dollar coin, but I'd be happy just being able to know what I was looking!!
