Jaime Hernandez

Proof Jefferson Nickels from the 1950's tend to have a strong collector demand. Especially for examples that are in higher grade or that display Cameo and Deep Cameo surfaces. The 1955 Proof Jefferson is no exception. However, despite a mintage of over 378,000 examples being struck, it is very difficult to find examples in PR69 condition or higher for both Cameo or non-Cameo examples. With Deep Cameo surfaces it is very scarce and collectors will have a very hard time finding any example, especially in PR68 Deep Cameo or higher.

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.
