The 1963-P Jefferson Nickel is very common and can still be found in circulation. However, most coins in circulation range from low circulated grades to about MS63 condition. MS64 examples and higher have probably been pulled from circulation already. Examples in higher grade such as MS65 and higher are probably from rolls or Mint Sets. MS66 examples are scarce despite the very large mintage. Examples in MS67 are really scarce with less than a handful known and none being finer.

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.
