    I just pulled this 1959 out of a roll. Is it Proof or Plated?

    Not an expert on nickels but isn't there too much lighting on this coin for a proper assessment? Just back of on the lighting please. Thanks. :)

    The picture is too overexposed to tell.

    Way too weakly struck to be a proof.

    Well preserved Business Strike, maybe?

    Thanks everyone. I need better photos. I have a 1959 proof. Perhaps I can get the two of them together.

    Hard to tell from those photos but I’d go with a business strike due to it looking like a worn die struck it and it didn’t circulate a lot.

    I see a lot of die scratches on this coin. I will get them recorded later.
