krhudson1 Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 12/22/2018 2:41 pm I know that FS nickels are not as uncommon in proof form, but it would still be cool if the nickel in my '59 proof set were one. I attached several photos, since certain angles shadow out some details. And my photography skills are legendary. In a bad way. :( What do you think of the nickel? Also, since the '59 proof set is a relatively low-value set, would it be worth cracking out this nickel if it is FS? Report this Post to the Staff

I think that's the goal, but my other early proof sets all had weak/filled-in lower steps. I haven't looked at a huge sample of sets, so I don't know if it's "special" to have a FS nickel in them.
