It's not quite flawless but it certainly stands out in a pile of nickels!!! I love finding these things and was happy to find my first proof nickel!

Nice. I've pulled 1 1970 S 1978 S, and 1979 Proof Nickels. They are hard to find!

Wow that's a nice little group you have found! I love seeing these things. They just stand out in a crowd don't they?!

Looks nice though! I suppose for being a proof coin in circulation it won't be perfect! I found a proof quarter once that must have been popped out of the case and immediately wrapped with 39 others to get $10 at the bank. Thing looked brand new!

Do you have a proof of each denomination from CRHing? I have a proof nickel, a proof dime, and about 10 proof halves I've found. Still searching for proof pennies, quarters, and dollars! My best proof is my avatar pic. Got it from a teller tray. Said someone that worked at the local Hardee's got it as payment at breakfast and deposited it. As Jim Morrison and the Doors best put it, "People are Strange!"

I have a quarter (oddly enough also a 1999), a few halves, a dime, and now the nickel. Would be pretty cool to find the penny and dollar do I can have one of each!

Keep at it... Maybe one day you can piece together a whole 1999 proof set. :) haha.

That would be sweet to find in circulation. Although I have the proof set already! My grandfather started buying proof sets bak in the 50's and then started buying me proof sets every Xmas. Since he passed away my parents decided to continue the tradition! I now have every single proof set made since the early 50's!

Lucky! :)

My father passed when I was 11; he bought me and my sister the silver proof sets for Christmas. He was only alive to give me '99 - '01, but my mom gave us the rest. I now have '79, '80, '81, '82, '83, 84, 85, 87, 88, 89, 91, silver 92 & 93, silver 99-08 & 11, the UNC set from '70, silver '76 set, and a clad 2000 set.
