I got a 1964 proof today in my change. Is it worth anything?

| Circulated/mis-handled 1964 penny and nickel proofs will have a little collector value. I'd guess maybe 25c or so depending on condition. |

Pretty good condition I think, despite a small nick on the side. Still a cool find and my first ever proof coin.
I will upload a pic of it. You cant really appreciate it from this picture though.

| I don't see the "proof" part of the coin. Looks like a normal '64 nickel to me. Then again, I can't tell when the 60's cents are proofs or not. I have a whole lot of them in BU condition and I've been trying forever to figure out if some of them are proofs |

Yeah you can't really tell with the picture but I'm certain it is a proof.
It has an extremely deep strike and you can almost see your reflection in the smooth parts of the coin. |

could just be prooflike.
Do some research if the 1964 proofs had an S mintmark on the back or not! |

1964 and earlier proof sets were minted in Philadelphia - No mint mark.
Proof coins were struck more than once and have very defined details. For the nickel, look for clearly defined steps on the reverse. |

Thanks, good info; I didn't realize that |
