Velzee Valued Member United States 65 Posts	Posted 10/15/2019 7:19 pm Hi all! I'm still beginning on nickels, and I've never seen a proof nickel in person before. I would like your opinion on this guy here (sorry for the possibly poor lighting, I'm still trying to get it right): Thank you for your help! Report this Post to the Staff

spruett001 Bedrock of the Community United States 10220 Posts	Posted 10/16/2019 02:07 am It appears to have too much die wear for it to have been a proof. It looks like a beat up business strike that someone tried to polish. I suggest going to eBay and purchasing at least one modern proof nickel to know what it's supposed to look like. They're cheap: 201700798519 The earlier proofs back into the 50s will be more expensive and are less likely to have "cameo" like the late-60s to present proofs have.

They're cheap: Make that two, one from the 60's and one from the 80's so you can see the difference between a brilliant proof and a cameo proof.
