back to back nickel rolls

garrettfan2 · Jul 17, 2011

in two consecutive nickel rolls I found a war nickel (43P) and a 1986S proof nickel. Why would someone open a proof set for the coins in them? I can put it with the 1989S half I recvd in change a few yrs back. It pays to look. garrettfan

good eye, picture of the proof if you can? proof nickels are really uncommon, I have found 1 proof(74-s) in about 30 boxes searched. hh!

Some people may open a set just to get one or two coins.
