yup, that's a Proof. Not much value after circulating, though.

Don't know if it was in circulation or not I acquired it in a cardboard sleeve

 

Just make sure I'm not missing something. Proofs that year were Philadelphia and not San Francisco mint?

 

Don't know

 

I think it was minted in Philadelphia

 

Yes

 

Yes, up until '68 I believe.

 

Exactly....as soon as I seen the rev. and steps it was a no brainer.

 

There are no 62-S nickels.
As for circulated, there are some nicks on the reverse that are from circulation.

 

I stand corrected...

 

I knew as the steps were a dead give away.. as Lehigh stated 1960 nickels weren't the best .....no idea the highest grade is on a ms 64 or 64 D but you can bet it's most probably not full steps.
However the early 60 nickels especially the proofs are very colorful .
