silvereaglecoins New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 03/29/2014 12:38 am It seems I have come across a 1997-p nickel. Its slabbed by SGS (I know, useless slab), but was wondering if there was a way to tell if its the super low minting with the matte finish or the other one. Nickels aren't my specialty, and was wondering if anyone knew a sure-fire way to tell which one this is. Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

silvereaglecoins New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 03/29/2014 09:02 am I know its no MS70. SGS grades between 60-70, and I think thats the only 2 numbers they know how to use. Its definitely got a different finish than most nickels, I'm just not sure exactly what I'm looking for. Report this Post to the Staff
