aloha_coin New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 08/19/2018 05:21 am Was recently given two, 2005-P Jefferson Bison Nickels. Both coins are in amazing conditions, and one of them has a proof finish. My first thought was that it was plated, but it weighs identical to the standard coin. Wondering if this is a common error, or if maybe this is a one of a kind.Mahalo for reading and I welcome any helpful input. Edited by aloha_coin 08/19/2018 05:22 am Report this Post to the Staff
