aussie1984 Valued Member Australia 110 Posts	Posted 08/06/2017 11:21 pm I have 4 Lewis and Clark coins that I won at an auction with heaps of other different coins. They don't look like proofs and are:..... All look uncirculated.

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 08/06/2017 11:51 pm You are missing the 2005 Bison of the 5 designs for these 2004-2006 Jefferson nickels. the 2006 being the first year of our current design. They surely must be uncirculated and are packaged as such to be marketed in one more way by a coin wholesaler. About 2/3 down this page you'll see the mintages. https://www.coincommunity.com/us_ni...efferson.asp Hey, for the amount of 20 cents being tied up there, you might re-gift them to a YN in Australia if they don't do anything for you. Over here we have plenty. Only well struck, completely nick free examples and a few varieties fetch any premium. Report this Post to the Staff

And to answer your question, yes they can be completely uncirculated without being proof coins. The US Mint releases both sets. Uncirculated and Proof coins for us collectors.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 08/08/2017 11:45 am The 2005 Bison nickels were so popular back in 2005 that with all the roll and bag sets that the Mint sold, close to 10% of the entire mintage was sold directly to collectors. Close to 90 million Unc coins out there in hoards. Report this Post to the Staff
