I was new to searching nickel rolls and exchanged three junk nickel rolls from my change bin.I went to the bank and got three rolls. one roll had a 1946 nickel on the end.I exchanged the junk nickels the next day for two more rolls. the first roll I opened had a 1976s proof nickel.
I could tell it was in circulation for quite a while because most of its cameo was gone.I could see the S mint mark clearly and knew it was a proof because they only made proofs that year. Here is a picture.(Make sure to check my post on the VF 1859 IH penny I found in a roll

If you look at my CRH log I have posted every proof nickel I have found this year. I'm guessing around 15 or so.
