I have a 1964 proof nickel with no mint mark i thought proofs are from san francisco and have a s mintmark is this an error
No, at various times throughout US history proof coins have been minted at the Philadelphia mint. 1964 happens to be one of those years.
Ohhh ok i just saw a video on you tube by jb coins that said they were super rare lol i gotta learn to not believe those stupid videos
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.
Oh I used to be huge into numismatic youtube half dollar make u holla, jb coins, quinns coins, blue ridge, couch collectables I've seen it all Still watch it sometimes, but I am careful on what I believe
Thank you all i got it from a mint set not a proof set but i sent it in for grading and they labeled it a proof it was not a great grading company it was a yr ago when i first started collecting ill take pics
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.
Strangely enough a certain youtube poster had a video pertaining to exactly the proof/mint scenarios. I thought it was interesting.
Sorry im kinda poor so my phone sucks cause its really cheap those were best pics i could get im sorry
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.
