Hello fellow hunters I have been steadily buying 10 rolls of nickels a day for a week and today on break from work bought 15 rolls nickels a roll of dimes and 10 rolls of pennies. Opened the dimes as soon as I left the bank and zip nadda nothing. Opened the first roll of nickels and found a 46, 52, and 53 nickel and the second to last coin was so shiny my heart was pounding. Turns out to be a 1982 S jefferson. My first proof while crh. Is it worth anything?
not worth much. bragging rights maybe. hold on to it. you will want to hold the coin on the edge. finger prints will stay on a coin.... especially proofs.
Modern proofs are not really worth anything once they get circulated. It looks like yours has a little circulation impairment on it. Still a cool find, and, yes, hold it by the edge.
Nothing now that it's covered in skin oil. I save all impaired proofs, but modern unimpaired ones are a dime a dozen. So no premium really. But yours looks pretty good.
Is there truly nothing safe to wipe the coin with once you've picked it up with your fingers such as he did with his proof coin?
Depends. Don't wipe anything but you can dip certain coins. But it's a low value modern proof so who really cares.
Proof, SMS, or just regular?? The big money nickel varieties. I'm going through some nickels. And one 1973 has me guessing. BU with a great champagne light gold tone. No mint mark Philly. The design is frosty the texture more like a proof coin than any of My "s" minted nickels. there are bag marks only. Took it from unc. Mint set. the fields not super polished but shiny in contrast to other Design. Seems like a special polished die left the fields perfectly matte Finished. All the tiny lines perfect only one direction. And very nice looking. Not quite mirror background but close. And nice contrast with the design Completely evenly frosty matte finished. I'm really wanting to say matte proof Or SMS but I'm not positive. I was hoping it may be proof like enough to Be a proof no "s". I don't have a SMS or matte proof to compare with. My picture is bad but the coin is mint condition unc. Completely and evenly toned gold. Very nice looking. My question is... Ms 63 + star (proof like?). Or SMS proof with no "S"? Oh yeah there are five steps just a small bit of the last step is rounded off. And another coin 1940 s rev of 40??? Ddr Pluribus extra leg on "L" and doubling At the base of "lurib". Raw coin value unc. Or au. Maybe even ms ?
I'm not sure how to start a new topic. Also I found raw Bu 1950 d 38 d 39 d 1940 d and s rev 38 1968 s 1972 s And plenty more in Jefferson nickels Whitman 1965 thanks grandma rip
Congrats Jake, I've yet to find a proof in CRH. It may not be worth much financially, but it's an awesome find, and is very much worth adding to your collection. Most war nickels and buffalos aren't worth much from a financial standpoint either, but all the effort that goes into roll hunting and then finding something out of the ordinary makes that coin valuable to the person who discovered it
