Jaime Hernandez

The 1954-D Jefferson Nickel was not well struck overall, this why examples in MS66or higher are very scarce. . However, it is common in circulated grades and up to about MS65 grade. With Full Steps details, it is scarce in MS65 or higher. Examples in MS66 with Full Steps are considered truly scarce and command a strong premium.
