    I don't find anything in nickels usually but found this one that looked proof. Is it proof? I am not sure if you can tell by this scan. proof.jpg

    It looks like a business strike to me.

    Check for the sharp rims that are always on proofs.

    In general, scans are always hard to determine proof/business since it usually reveals no luster whatsoever.

    Just wondering since it casts a reflection

    It is probably just close to BU but was just wondering since it casts a reflection.

    buddy, that coin is nowhere near BU

    it's circulated and worth only 5¢

    I generally don't search nickels.

    I haven't really found anything in nickels and looks like this will go in the change to dump in the coin machine.
