New CRH'er Question about nickels!
So I found a decent guide that tell which pennies and half dollars to look for that are worth picking out when CRHing, haven't goten to my dimes yet, although I'm on nickels now and found this guy:
Basically what he says to look for are:
1913 and below
1913-1938
1939 D
1939-1940 reverse of opp yr error
1942 S (silver)
1942 P (large P on back of coin for silver)
1942-1945 war nickels (silver)
1950 D
1955
1950-1964 proofs look frosty (have no mint mark
)
I found quite a bit of 1950-1964 so far which he says to look for "proofs" which apparently have no mint mark and are "frosty". I really can't tell if any are "frosty" they all looked pretty much the same. Although MOST of the 1950-1964 I found so far have a mint mark, all but 2 so far into a few rolls didn't, and they are both 1964 with no mint mark on front or back. Does this mean that these 2 are proofs?
