    Found this today and it looks brand new like a proof coin any help would be appreciated. I tried to do a video to show it has reflection like a mirror but it won't upload

    Perhaps 'prooflike' but I don't believe it to be a proof coin. Get some closeup photogs and maybe I'll change my opinion........

    That's a proof Ken.....and I bet under the right light it has some color.

    The jury is still out. I'll never make a determination without proper photogs........

    Hard to tell from the photo...besides having a "mirror" finish, it should also have "outstanding" details...

    Yes, I would definitely say that is a proof. Nice find!

    can you post a pic of the edge? it certainly does look like a proof, but a pic of the edge would help.

    1960's Jeffersons don't come with full details and full steps with mirrored finishes unless they are proof coins. This coin is a proof, 100%.

    What's the value on this one?

    Impaired proof. If it has been in circulation.
    Has more value if it was still in proof packaging.

    Worth $2-3 before circulating. Maybe 25 cents now
