    New to coins and I have this 1977 S minted nickel and I was wondering how to tell if this was a proof coin or not?

      It could be a proof, because of the sharp relief on the rim (proofs are double-stamped):

      They made quite a few proofs in 1977 (3,251,152):

      However, this coin looks circulated.
