Not even close.

 

Proof coin from this year are quite distinct, and easily recognizable from their circulation strike counterparts. A proof coin should have sharp square edge rim.

 

On etsy?

Priceless!

 

How about proofs that have been in circulation for many years? Being in circulation would put lots of wear & tear on them which would remove a lot, if not all of the sharp characteristics of the coin.

 

All 1971 Proof Coins were minted in San Francisco and bear an S mint mark.

This coin does not have a mint mark, and was struck in Philadelphia.

Therefore it is not a proof.

 

no

under no circumstances.. now what you might find is a heavey business plachett ..

 

cool hi mike love the show.. yall are awesome

 

It’s a long distance between that coin and a proof one.

 

The posted coin in question does not look circulated to me.

 

might i suggest you take the American numismatic association diploma course

 

hey mike can you explain to me why where san Francisco minted cents circulated during the 1970s to 1979s , i mean why, why they did not bear a more prominent feature. because it seems to be the only series where sanfrancisco minted coins where readily available outside of silver coinage

 

San Francisco filled in for production when the other Mints couldn't keep up. S Mint cents were made from 1968-1974. The only other circulation strike S Minted coins in the 70s were Susan B Anthony Dollars in 1979.

 

There are proofs without mint marks. See 1990 no S proof cent, 1968 no S proof dime, etc.

Proof is a manor of manufacture, not from a place.

 

You can still see proof characteristics. I’ve seen proofs grade as low as PR06.

 

a method of manufacturing... yes. I f you knew proofs, you'd know that this is not pretty much instantly

 

You forgot the 1968, 69, and 70 S mint Jefferson nickels

 

you're right... I stand corrected

 

Thank you so much....
So its a well stuck business this there any value in this coin and could it have some other errors or varieties

 

Basically it’s worth face value.
