I'm not sure how to really ask my question. I have always loved finding a coin that just got my attention, but have only just started LOOKING. And learning. I hope anyway learned you really can't believe everything you read online.  Last week I was convinced I have 3 1982 copper pennies. One of which was an error because it has no mm and off centered(yes I know all nickels do and I'd it quarter s too Idk can't remember.. Hey they all weighed and I didnt know there are 7 til 3 coin places over the phone said they're 3.50 lol.   So about 97 p nickel, is it I believe it was called frosted matte? And if so is it really only 1 of 2 including 94 that are? Sidenote here not sure difference of frosted matte and proof. Well except I shouldn't expect proof in circulation coins,which my coin is. Now here is my problem well it wouldnt beproblem if I was actually correct about what I see. But I just cant believe I happen to have a "special" frosted coin that Also happens to have like 5 other things. If someone reads this(really meant to be brief lol) I'll get someone else to take photos if need be. Thank you so much in advance. Oh btw whoever runs rules and agreement page here is hilarious when I read something out loud You even made my 12 yr old. Laugh and these days I didn't think heard anything but video games.  . 1 swipe like marks above part of a/m America tried to show that it is raised not gouged out 2 mark through w in we 3 line through llo (maybe goes through toward edge) 5 ni in United on top of each other ( I know nickels are close but this makes an m and eliminate s n and I. Until I zoomed in to pic and then zoomed in again and took another pic thru magnifying glass and it does separate 6with magnifier looks like just 4 stairs I think 7 and looks like ring around starting with lines I can't quite get in pictures thru United into states and going around you can pick up more in line with it and very top almost seems to have been like a bowl Idk how to out it Edited by HCIX

1.You need to look into a ' Red Book' to see what is going on with normal coins. 2. 1982 copper cent large and small date cents are common. 1982- D small dates are the one everyone is looking for. 3. On the 1997 Proof nickels, the 'S' mint Nickels are the proof nickels. Some years have a missing mintmarks on them.    So having a 1997-P Nickel in BU is not a Proof coin. It would be a normal coin. Just like the 1909-2022 cents, only one year year have a 'P' mintmark.  So on a business strike coin on the cents, they are all except one year with a 'P' mintmark. On other denominations, there were a 'P' mintmark on the WW-2 Nickels with a 'P' mintmark. But in 1980' they started adding 'P' mintmarks on Business strike coins. Before 1968, proof coins were struck in Philly, so they are not missing a mintmark pre 1968 proof coins. During the 1965-1967 years non mintmarks were on any of the coins during that time. There were also no proof coins during that time, but SMS (Special-Mint-Sets) during that time. On the 1968-1974 cents, there were Business strike coins and also proof coins on cents:   The War Nickels has the large mintmarks on them  See information like this is in a publication like the ' Red Book':  A lot of basic information is in these books. (basic info) Here we answer a lot of questions that you won't find on in the Red Book. (Or even most coin shops) So start with the basics. Then progress with questions here. |

Coop ty I appreciate it. 2 of 3 of pennies have a d just can't quite tell large or small. I didn't think nickel was proof because its not in a set and I have a small idea of what proofs look like compared to others. Just not 200% of anything. So I will gladly study any book I have to to learn I just got impatient lol

I know that proof coins 99.9% of the time have the S mint mark, but afaik they will never have a P or D mint mark. Also, a coin with an S mint mark is not necessarily a proof. Its all very confusing huh
Edit: coop coming in with the fresh info again. I guess there is at least one proof with a different mint mark. Coins are crazy.

Well there is one that is a proof that is from Philadelphia since 1980 that has a 'P' mintmark on it.  All pre 1965 proof coins do not have a 'P' mintmark that were proof nickels. (The War years did have P Mintmarks on them as mentioned above, but they were not proofs. But they were business strike nickels. (Type Two Nickels) 1909-1916 had the matte proof coins. No more until 1936 when they started the proof sets back up again. 1936-1942 1950-1964. After that most of the Proof coins were made in San Francisco. The one I mentioned from Philly and the others from West Point. Satin finish on some coins as well: Cents: The 1965-1967 SMS were also in all denominations, but there were no mintmarks on these. 2005-2008 Plain and Denver: https://www.PCGS.com/cert/40591479https://www.PCGS.com/cert/30843862Higher grade examples only in BU. (MS-69, MS-70 Quote:quote from PCGS on the Cents: Jaime Hernandez: From 2005-2012 the Mint produced Special Satin Finish Mint Sets. Each Mint Set contained an example of every circulating coin in a specially struck burnished planchet. For the Lincoln Cent this was also the last year in which the Mint used the Memorial cent design. Most 2008-D Satin Finish Lincoln cents were struck very well, with many examples grading MS67 and higher. Coins in MS68 are a bit difficult to find but yet, still available. In MS69, they become more difficult with possibly a few hundred examples that grade MS69. Nickels: The 1965-1967 SMS were also in all denominations, but there were no mintmarks on these. SMS 1997-P: https://www.PCGS.com/cert/05410176https://images.PCGS.com/CoinFacts/1...080_2200.jpg But note the strike on this coin. They are EDS examples in MS-69 and MS-70 high grades. Your coin is not one of these. Note the die flow lines on your coin. These don't have that. Also on the 2005- 2010 P and D. There were Satin Nickels: https://www.PCGS.com/cert/73714417https://images.PCGS.com/CoinFacts/7...876_2200.jpgThese are the Satin Finish examples. Again note the totally clear fields and freshest die state for these. Also High grade only examples. https://www.PCGS.com/cert/83251506https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/coin...mages/418794Dimes: The 1965-1967 SMS were also in all denominations, but there were no mintmarks on these. Same 2005-2010 Satin Finish: Quarters: The 1965-1967 SMS were also in all denominations, but there were no mintmarks on these. 2005-2008 P and D Satin finish: https://www.PCGS.com/cert/37288062https://images.PCGS.com/CoinFacts/3...052_2200.jpghttps://www.PCGS.com/cert/37288139Although the information on this area doesn't call this a satin finish, I feel PCGS just forgot to add that information. The coin clearly is a satin finish coin.https://images.PCGS.com/CoinFacts/3...339_2200.jpgHalves: The 1965-1967 SMS were also in all denominations, but there were no mintmarks on these. 2005-2010 P and D examples: https://www.PCGS.com/cert/73685756https://images.PCGS.com/CoinFacts/7...646_2200.jpghttps://www.PCGS.com/cert/18115054https://images.PCGS.com/CoinFacts/1...342_2200.jpg Sacagawea dollar: 2005-2008 P and D mint. Also in higher grades and in the flawless fields.

I think you are referring to the 1994 and 1997 type finishes on nickels found in the 1997 Botanic Garden Coinage & Currency Set, and previous 1994 Thomas Jefferson Coinage and Currency Set.  The 1994-P Matte Finish Jefferson nickel had a mintage of 167,703, which is derived from the final sales total for the Coinage and Currency Set. The The 1997-P Matte Finish Jefferson nickel had a mintage of just 25,000 You have a common circulated 1887 P business strike.Edited by TNG

Just a normal nickel. The finish and die state is not there for one of the satin coins.
