Dearborn Moderator United States 97227 Posts	Posted 02/06/2022 6:28 pm just a very nice example of a business strike. (If you can ignore the fingerprint) Collecting since 1972.

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 02/06/2022 6:38 pm Hm, this is actually a tough call. A lot of these Philadelphia minted proof Jeffersons look quite similar to business strikes in impaired condition, but I'm going to guess this is actually a proof based on the fields having more polish than I would expect on a business strike and the steps of the monticello building being very unusually square for a 50s business strike. Can we get some better photos? Edited by SamCoin 02/06/2022 6:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97227 Posts	Posted 02/06/2022 7:47 pm If it wer ea proof, the rim would be thicker and squared off, IMHO Collecting since 1972.

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 02/06/2022 8:05 pm Very nice business strike. I do not have the time now to take an example of the 59 proof. It is a business and very nice find also. Edited by silviosi 02/06/2022 8:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/06/2022 9:17 pm Proofs back then had mirrored fields and a Frosted Cameo on the fresher die states: The double strike makes the device pop more than a business strike coin. Report this Post to the Staff

But I still think that this nickel is just a business strike. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
