I get so fed up with April Fool's Day. No originality at all!

what do you mean chris? this is real no jokes.. I'm only 18 i decided do to this as my first time hunting.

 

jeff i was looking for a "grade" or "price" or if its actually a real 1971 no "s" because i don't want to be one of the millions who get teased with the wears.

 

I can't really help you much with the finer details of telling whether a circulated coin started out as a proof or as uncirculated. Instead, I'll just point you at the odds.

There were over 100 million 1971 nickels minted for circulation at Philadelphia (with no mint mark). There are a few hundred known examples of the 1971 "No S" proof nickel.

If you pull four 1971 nickels out of a box, it seems to stand to reason that the odds against them being "No S" proofs are about a million to one. In fact, the odds are even poorer -- most proof coins never go into circulation, so of the very few "No S" proofs that were made in the first place, even fewer of them could possibly be found in circulation.

 

Those coins ain't 'proof'.......

 

i appreciate your help, then again who knows. some one who collected them must have tossed them around in new york! but again 100 million nickels were made. that means the odds of a missed s on it can be higher, if not the price range per nickel would be extremely high just like the silver dollars, am i right?

 

how do you know that? the front has very good details, i have other s coins with them and looks like they are proof, but who knows,

 

I'm not seeing any 'mirrored' fields. An impaired proof would still display evidence of that.

 

what do you mean by "mirrored" fields???

i have a decent picture between a d nickel and a no s nickel,

 

There were actually over 106 million "No S" nickels minted in 1971. Straight outta Philly. You definitely have found some well circulated ones.

 

The rims are rounded.....not squared off and wire-like.

 

those coins are not proofs! oh.. this thread is an april fool's joke! ok haha

 

as of if the s got worn off or cut it would of impacted that "area" dramatically and would be a COMPLETELY worn coin. i have a 131

philly never has minted them. only san and denv, san has slipped out many of the no "s"

 

no lol, not at all,

 

do you have a picture you can show me an example? because I've seen on other pictures my nickel looks just 100% like it, might have slipped out of a collector took a beating into another collectors hand and a child has cashed the coins and its in my hands now.. ? maybe who knows.

 

Hey Jakchota? Get a Red Book and welcome to the forum........

 

sorry its my first day here and my first time officially collecting, tomorrow I'm picking up a box of quarters.

 

Again, welcome my friend, but you've got to arm yourself with some reference material.....
