    No, at various times throughout US history proof coins have been minted at the Philadelphia mint. 1964 happens to be one of those years.

    99% of those videos are worthless. And full of misinformation.

    How do you know it's a proof?
    Can you post pictures?

    JB Coins is a joke.
    This guy has discovered thousands of "doubled dies" with his microscope on the new quarters and dimes. He doesn't know anything except to pass on incorrect information.
    And I agree a photo is nec. as you can tell immed. if it is a proof or not.
    If it's out of the packaging, it becomes less likely.
    And then if it is real (and out of the packaging) the value has become compromised.

    I watch some on it for entertainment and for information. I just need the information and then if needed I am capable of verifying the validity of such advice. If it's not entertaining though, what's the point? Sometimes I don't feel like reading so watching people talk about what they think they know about results. Reading it is via other circles sometimes tedious and even more inaccurate or open to interpretation.

    If it's from a mint set I doubt it is a proof.

    Strangely enough a certain youtube poster had a video pertaining to exactly the proof/mint scenarios. I thought it was interesting.

    You are too close to get it in focus
    And go to. A room where the light is much brighter
    Your camera is struggling due to lack of light

    Also who is the grader??

    The grader appears to be NGS, a basement grading service that has been used by some of the TV coin peddlers.

    Before 1968, all proofs were struck at Philadelphia without a mint mark - the exception being the 1942 silver nickels, that have a large 'P' above the Monticello. 1968-S was the first year of San Francisco proof sets.
