The Denver Mint struck over 600 million, 1998 Jefferson Nickels for circulation, therefore, examples in circulated condition up to about MS64 can easily be obtained. Examples in MS66, especially with the Full Steps characteristics, on the other hand can prove difficult to find. Coins grading above MS66 condition are very scarce and worth holding on to if you are able to find one.
