I can never tell from smallish pictures if it is a proof rim or circulation strike rim. I thought your pictures looked to have a very hard square rim. That coupled with the fact that 1957 nickels just are not struck like this one made me think it was for sure a proof. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
