    I have some shiny nickels but mine are in slabs and say MS. That one looks like it was put on a buffing wheel after a nice long dip. It has still got some silver in it so hang on to it maybe silver will be worth something some day.

    Yes with each year they get better. with high magnification you can see the changes. In my opinion the 65 was a quickie throw together of top BS coins because of the collectors demands the 66 was a more prepared Die for a proof look and then the 67 was even more refined to prepare for the coming years ahead. Here are some shots of the fields. Sorry I did not take them out of there wrappers so there may be some glare but you can still see it well.

    Ya woods on the first picture the hair is not to bad so I did not look close. but on the second picture it is more noticeable it has a lot of wear on the left wing under the scratch but that could be grease strike. The more I look the lower it goes ,Sorry Mike 58 maybe 60 the fields are very nice.

    Looks like the metal got hot from a grinder

    Is that a big scratch on the wing on our left or on the plastic? If on the wing I would say 60, 61 if not 62

    Ya I did check it long time ago. Mine has normal hair and the I on LIBERTY is normal also. you are correct all the coins are in good shape except. The nickels don't have full steps like most mint sets and the dimes are FB but have a sandblasted texture that takes away a lot of the detail. The Quarter background is almost proof. But they did get the proof background on the half dollar pretty good.

    I have a 1964 set and it says proof not SMS

    Well Bill there was a VF 25 for around $250 but most were in the $500 to $1200 range and that is average for a CC and then there are some ..........................

    Oh just so you all know the joke around the forum is the Special Mint Sets are not. Well I can now say with out a doubt they are better than BS but not as nice as a proof sets there close to proof in strike. They still have a lot of contact marks like a mint set. The 67 is a little better than the 66 in quality. But this is only one set there may be some nicer ones out there.

    I went to my favorite coin shop today to see what he had that was new. Dang he got a mess of graded CC Morgan's from one guy and I was Thunderstruck Big bucks on all of them I did not bring enough $$$ for that hoard of CC's But while I was looking around I found the 66 and 67 SMS sets to go with my 1965 set and at least I had enough for those...... $10 a peace

    Buy it for .99 and if you don't like it DIP It

    1964 was the last year of the silver Proof set in the manila envelope.

    Good deal Bill. I like the Quarter also

    The photos are to far away to see it clear but it looks like it was cleaned on the obverse at one time or another and then someone put it in the freezer to tone away the evidence.

    I got some great deals on these coins so far. The PCGS and NGC graded MS coins for $23 or less each and the ungraded or garage MS coins were under $10 each. Now if anyone is tired of looking at there coins and wants to part with some of these type of slabed WWII coins let me know . But I will remind you if you don't already know I am a cheep OLD SOB......

    I think everything type 2 is way overpriced and it will stay that way as long as people keep buying. The dealers are finally making money on all the new coins for 2021 and that's cool, but they are not going to give out any deals until purchases slow down.

    My new addition to my War Nickel Collection
  20. J P M
    Nice set
  21. J P M
    It has been subjected to time and weather copper will corrode and deteriorate.
  22. J P M
    It looks like a normal 1969 S to me
  23. J P M
    Last time I checked with the dealer near me he said if it has been folded it is worth face value.
  24. J P M
    How did you get that Nickel to turn gold.
