Beautiful nickels

I've posted these in a previous thread and I thought they were absolutely beautiful... I wanted to show these off one last time... BUT somebody pointed out in a previous thread they looked like proofs and I thought that sounded a little iffy... In my opinion it looks MS-65... What do you guys think?

WOW ! Those are Terrific . I''l go MS-65 also .

 

I think I self edited some people off with my previous posts... Nobody is even looking at this thread

 

Maybe if you thought about the language you use

 

I'll agree those are nice nickels

 

Meow would think MS66. Meow thinks proofs have better defined rims, that are close to perfection. This one has a fairly uneven rim.

 

Nice onset of toning. They're MS65s to me, too.

 

I think you have a chance of that top one being a proof. The rims look nice and square, the fields are flat to the rim. I forget what they call a proof that has been out of its original packaging and subject to "circulation."

It's not "damaged" or "altered" but something akin to that.

@paddyman98 would know I think.

It's called an impaired proof. I don't think the rims are square enough

 

There you go . . . !

I've been drinking so I couldn't remember the word . . . .

I guess I was "impaled" . . . . . LOL

 

Shouldn't go drinking with VLAD

 

Often on the proofs the steps look very nice. Both could be proofs.
The steps on the 59 don't seem correct for a business strike.

 

Proof or non proof, those are some really nice coins and look very well cared for. Take care of them.
