Welcome to CT. Impaired proof. The coin was issued in a proof set, but for whatever reason was cracked out and put into circulation. It's impaired because it was in general circulation. It's a nice find, though. If it were mine, it would be a keeper. I'm hoping it piques your continuing interest in coin collecting.
Yep, those will definitely stand out against the rest of them in the till. Cool find and keep up the hunt.
as above stated impaired proof. nice find and a keeper for sure!! fyi, I used this website to look up general information https://www.cointalk.com/threads/19...are-us-your-collection-and-why.317630/page-25 for prices, "Proofs" have a "PR" prefix. Yours impaired thus less than the stated value (which is a general value anyways).
Awesome find in the till. This nickel was not meant to be circulated for business. It was specially struck to be admired. It is called a proof strike and easily identifiable by the mirror like finish of the fields of the coin. That one is a keeper!
