Looking for a 1950 Proof Jefferson Nickel, but it's not as simple as it sounds..........

keets

What I'm looking for is an example of what Walter Breen describes in his Encyclopedia with the phrase Earlier proofs are satin finish; later ones much more brilliant, like 1951 and later years. I have seen a few examples and the appearance is similar to the Matte finish of todays modern commemoratives but with better luster.

If you have a 1950 Jefferson Proof which meets this criteria I would very much be interested in buying it. A picture would be helpful and I would ask that you allow me a return privilege so that I can make a judgement with the coin in hand. I'll gladly pay for shipping and insurance both ways. Any service holder is fine, raw is fine and grade is really not that important so long as the coin has no glaring problems or imperfections, especially signs of cleaning or rub.

Please PM if you can help. Thanks.

I've got a few 1950 PR67 nickels and will pull them out for a second look
later today!

Just checked - I have two, but both are definately nicely mirrored (with color)
rather than matte. I have seen a number of 1950 Proof Franklins and Washingtons
that would qualify, but don't recall seeing nickels come this way.

The search continues...
