bmorse442 New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 05/17/2021 4:58 pm That's what I was thinking. Do you know if there is any value to it? It obviously hasn't been in circulation very long. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 05/17/2021 5:02 pm 100% a proof coin. Very cool to find in change! Probably not a huge value to it but it will be worth more than 5 cents. Probably $1? -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 05/17/2021 9:10 pm Proof for sure. Weird these days to find any proof change in circulation since there isn't much a whole busted proof set could buy at face value. Let alone a nickel. Years ago kids might bust Dad's coin sets up for pocket money but it isn't worth doing anymore. Report this Post to the Staff
