<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EdThelorax, post: 3374595, member: 99854&quot;]Yes, that looks like a proof from here. Compare it to a brand new 2018 nickle, is the field *flat area) smooth and mirror like? If so, it is a proof. The raised part around the rim is called a &quot;fin&quot; and is caused by the extra pressure on the press used to mint the coin squeezing the metal up around the side of the die. I would look for re-punched mint marks and doubled dies. Handle the coins carefully, hold only the rims, do not touch the surfaces, better yet wear thin gloves. </p><p>This is a great resource for mint errors, especially&nbsp;&nbsp; Doubled die listings and RPM listings. </p><p><a href="http://doubleddie.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://doubleddie.com/" rel="nofollow">http://doubleddie.com/</a> </p><p>You need a 10X magnifying loupe to see most of them. </p><p>They look like nice coins, one error could be worth more than the rest of them put together. </p><p>Some errors aren&#039;t worth very much at all.</p><p>Happy Hunting, and welcome to CT.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
