I wanted to show you the 1971-S Proof Nickel I just received today form PCGS.

Grade? Nice looking coin- I'll say a 67DCAM

Very nice for a very tough coin.

I have a '71 DCAM Roosie in one of my sets. Do they bring much money?

That is my PR69DCAM Russ.

Melikecoins: Well done!

many people try for that coin in that grade - few people actually achieve it. THE GRADING GODS SMILED ON YOU

Very nice! Great frost for a '71.

I like that coin. Here's my humble attempt.

Bump for what is, quite simply, an extraordinary achievement. I don't think those who aren't in to modern proof coins really understand just how difficult it is to find a true deep cameo '71-S nickel, and to make one in the grade of 69 is something that should REALLY be celebrated.

Agreed, Russ ... would kill for one .... Don, that coin makes me ache. Why is it not in a slab yet?

not only is it a tough date to find well frosted on both sides, it seems they grade the date rather hard, also. from my records it's been well over a year and possibly close to 3 since PCGS graded a 1971 Jeff as 69DCAM. quite an accomplishment indeed.

Remarkable coin. I've never seen a '71 like it.
