* Full Step Rarity *

If you know this date you will understand the importance of a full step coin for the 1968-S Jefferson nickel.In this year they are super scarce in any grade with fullsteps and is considered rare among the rare.

With this coin showing stunningly clean steps it is not far from being the first 6 step coin for this date and mint.

It was much easier on my pocketbook purchasing it at this grade for the value on these skyrockets as the grade gets higher. Currently on Ebay a seller is asking close to $3,000.00 for one thru Ngc in MS66-FS.

As of Jan 2014

With Ngc and Pcgs combined total, there was only (21) encapsulated/certified in all mintstate grades.
