Good afternoon everyone,

I took my 10x5 Coiltek coil for the equinox (father's day gift) for it's maiden voyage today. I went to a local park where I have pulled 1000+ coins in the past two years and is a place I go for clad when time is short.

The Coiltek did well with 57 coins in 3 hrs and 19 nickels. Nothing old as expected, but one of the nickels was a 1970-S.

Were 1970-S in circulation or were they old sold in proof sets? This nickel is not in proof condition for sure, but I don't find that many "s" mints here in the Heartland of America.

Thanks,
Rob
 
Thanks both of you. I figured they were made for circulation, but couldn't find any definitive info on the internet.

Looks like it goes into the nickel jar with the rest of them.

Thanks,
Rob
 
Red book is a valuable tool. The internet sites make things too confusing with their clickbait bs
