Owner's Comments

Both sides are covered in a golden tone. A mix of violent patina covers the obverse, and the reverse has a hint of violet mixed in.

Expert Comments

Ron Guth

The 1971-D Nickel is a common coin either with or without Full Steps. PCGS has graded hundreds of Full Step examples, mostly in MS65FS. The finest 1971-D Nickels certified by PCGS include more than two dozen in MS67FS, but none finer.
