Expert Comments

Jaime Hernandez

The 1951-D Jefferson Nickel is really challenging to find displaying complete Full Steps on the reverse design. It is even more difficult to find in MS66 condition and with the Full Steps designation. There are no MS67 examples with Full Steps known or in better condition, making it one of the more difficult dates for the series in Gem condition. In example in MS66 condition with the Full Steps designation is considered really scarce with possibly less than 100 examples known.

Rarity and Survival Estimates Learn More

Grades	Survival Estimate The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.
