<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mr. Flute, post: 2076685, member: 33154&quot;]Proof nickels are quite rare to find in circulation, but I have found a fair number of the last 3 years of roll hunting nickels.&nbsp; I typically do $50-$100 per week in rolls and have found about 30 proof Jefferson nickels during this time.&nbsp; They range from 1963 to 2005 with most of them bunched in the late 1970s, mid 1980s and mid 1990s.</p><p><br /></p><p>They usually find their way into circulation through proof set thefts, unknowing heirs and/or purposely placed after a collector or dealer breaks up a proof set to get to potential high grade coins in the set and the nickels are just put back in circulation because 60s-present proof nickels don&#039;t have much aftermarket value outside of the government issued set packaging.&nbsp; So, it&#039;s better to get the face value out of the coin than have it sit around taken up space.</p><p><br /></p><p>Congrats on the find.&nbsp; It&#039;s not worth much, but is still a good find for five cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
