Question regarding Jefferson war nicks

Has anyone come across any business strike war nicks that have a definite prooflike appearance, frosty devices and polished fields? I have a couple of '43S which have a distinctive cameo appearance. These also show some doubling on Liberty. I'll try to get some pics up if anyone was curious.

Added some pics. A little bit of shadow on the bottoms, but the contrast above is true. Heavily polished fields.

    Years ago in a 45S. A dazzling coin it was but there was something wrong with it, I don't remember. It was returned.
    I do have the lone 1940-D the was graded PL by ANACS years ago.
    Proof-like war nickels are seldom seen come to think about it. This fact doesn't help a coin I have in a 1946-S that I believe was struck on a silver planchet. It can be seen in my collection link below, last coin in the 15th row.

  • Good morning Leo, and everyone at CU,,,?

    I do in fact' have a 1945-S Jefferson in (Prooflike Grade) ? the only issue I have with this, once I got it in hand,

    was the vertical line running thu on the reverse side. The Obverse no problem. Come to think about it, it is the

    only one that was Certified thru Ngc at the grade of MS-65 . Nothing higher,,, Leo' what would these (Lines)

    represent,,,? is it a form of die polish (?) I guess I'm picking your brain,,, my grand-daddy always told me go look

    for one of the best in the field,,,,THAT'S YOU!,,,,, If you or other collectors would like to view it, It'll be in my collection

    on the Ngc Registry,,I also ' I have another Prooflike Jefferson in 1946> Now that's a Beauty!

    Have a great day my friend, Jim Berline

    That is a nice coin. I don't look for them actively, but its good to know that there are examples that exist that look like yours.

    I look at a fair amount of war nickels and do not recall snagging any PLs in the process. Definitely a great find including the full strike and steps!
