    Proof or not Proof that is the question ? I have three Nickels that I acquired . One is this 1963 and two 1964 's . All Are very unproblematic an very glossy and appear to have full steps. Do this look proof or Business strike ? 1963Nickelobv-horz.jpg 1963Nickelobv.jpg 1963NickelREV.jpg

    Looks like a proof to me but can you turn down the lights?

    expat Remember you are unique, just like everyone else

    Put a diffuser between your light source and the coin. Oven paper, tracing paper etc. Spreads the light evenly and takes away the glare
