1945 S Jefferson nickel mirror proof

[frankiefry]

I have found what I think is a 1945 S Jefferson nickel proof coin. It has a mirror like look to both the front and back, not like a regular silver war nickel that is rather dull. It is pretty worn on the reverse, with no steps and almost no pillars, but the shine is still mirror-like. I would appreciate any info. you nice people can give me about this nickel as I haven't found a whole lot doing a google search about it. I realize the pics are kind of blurry, but you can see how shiny it is, if that helps.

Thanks. : )

Circulated and plated at some point.

Holy cow, back off with the camera a bit. How are we supposed to gather anything from that picture other than it's a nickel and it's either been cleaned hard or plated? Almost any digital camera will have a macro function (a small flower icon) that will take detailed photos. If you don't have a macro function, try getting back further than half an inch from the coin/subject.

Yup, chrome-plated for sure. I have quite a few that way. Still silver underneath.
