Jaime Hernandez

The 1948-D Jefferson Nickel is common up to about MS66 condition as thousands of examples exist. In MS67 they are much tougher to find. With the Full Steps designation it is very scarce in MS67 condition. Anything grading higher is considered a special coin, as few exist in this condition.
