Nyfireman Valued Member United States 218 Posts	Posted 12/28/2015 8:44 pm good evening I have a quick question I have pulled a bunch of 60's and 70,s nickels out of a roll while searching two 1970 s nickels are they a proof coin ? and if they are they are not worth keeping now right since they are no longer in sets Report this Post to the Staff

Oldephriam Valued Member United States 424 Posts	Posted 12/28/2015 9:56 pm The 1970-S Jefferson nickel has an uncirculated version and a proof version. If the original luster is worn then it can be very hard to tell the difference. The rim and the areas around the lettering can be clues. If you are not confident in your coin knowledge the a quick trip to your LCS can be beneficial, most dealers love the chance to educate collectors. Another consideration; the 1970-S Jefferson proof is a $2.00 coin on a good day and only if it is in pristine condition. There are niche collectors that love finding circulated proof coins, but I don't think any of them would pay much more than face value for one of these coins. Report this Post to the Staff

Visit the CONECA listings for Doubled Dies and RPMs at Variety Vista. Good luck! Report this Post to the Staff
