<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 8181839, member: 106826&quot;]Yes.&nbsp; Have a look at the proof posted by [USER=17665]@tommyc03[/USER].&nbsp; Look at the rim of the Proof and then look at the rims of the Business strikes you posted above.&nbsp; You&#039;ll note that the Proof has even, squared rims.&nbsp; If you were to stack your cents with the Proof, you would see that the proof has a thicker appearance because the formation of the rim is more precise and uniform.&nbsp; Additionally, the proof will have a finer finish, mirror-like and sometimes the bust/devices have a frosted appearance.&nbsp; When you find a proof in circulation, most times there are still details common to a proof still visible.&nbsp; That said, I&#039;ve found proof nickels that look just like a business strike given the wear-and-tear of circulation.&nbsp; Other diagnostics help to confirm what you have.&nbsp; If you haven&#039;t already found a proof in circulation, it may only be a matter of time before you do.&nbsp; Many &#039;liberated&#039; proofs are out there in circulation, especially nickels, quarters, and halves.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
