Introduction of Coins
Though sales of proof nickels within both the minor and silver proof sets fell during 1914, this seems to be the date most often seen for the 1913-16 series. Gems are more available than for the 1913 issues, perhaps due to the greater quality of these coins as made. They have a finer grain to their surfaces which, when seen on a well preserved specimen, are much more attractive than for the earlier date.Read More
