Owner's Comments

A spectacular Jeff with deep, watery mirrors, a light CAM and super-clean surfaces. Well deserving of its scarce grade. Photo from Teletrade (scratch and "dust" are on slab, not the coin.)

Expert Comments

Jaime Hernandez

The 1952 Proof Jefferson Nickel usually comes without a cameo or deep cameo appearance. And most examples grade at about PR65 to PR67 without the cameo or deep cameo appearance. Examples with a cameo appearance are much harder to find but several hundred examples exist in all grades combined. With a deep cameo appearance they are rare, as no more than a few dozen examples are known to exist.
