jsbruton Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 12/29/2012 8:05 pm I was going in to pay for my gas when a young kid in front of me laid some change on the counter for candy when I saw the coin screaming at me saying (grab me) I asked the clerk for it and it cost me a nickel.

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 12/29/2012 9:45 pm It appears to be a proof. I see a few large hairlines and possibly a couple marks by Jefferson's shoulder. The grade may be around a PR-63 give or take depending on how many imperfections it actually has. Still a pretty nice find for a nickel. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfanmorgan Valued Member 357 Posts	Posted 12/29/2012 10:30 pm Nice job being able to spot that in change. I posted a 1964 proof on here yesterday. Were you asked why you wanted the coin? Edited by Coinfanmorgan 12/29/2012 10:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
jsbruton Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 12/29/2012 11:05 pm There are no flaws on this coin at all what appears to scratches or flaws are not on the coin. I have a proof 65 1963 nickel and this one makes it look sick. It looks like a two sided mirror. Report this Post to the Staff

jsbruton Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 01/07/2013 1:25 pm I have a high grade 1963 Proof in my nickel book and it does not look as good as this one. The so called scratches was something left on the coin after wiping it off. there is not a scratch or blemish of any kind on this coin and has a Superior strike. I'm thinking more on the line of Proof.66 or 67 and probably higher. Report this Post to the Staff
