During the 75 year run in the Jefferson Series so far- Less than (10) coins were certified in the Top (2) Grading Services in this grade with fullsteps and higher!

I find it very hard to fathom how the US Mint could pump-out 1,787,297,160 of these denver nickels for circulation leaving extremely low mintstate examples to show for it. I feel very fortunate able to obtain one of these. It is quite obvious the officials in charge of our countrys coinage was not showing concern or interest in saving high grade coins.

According to reference things gradually improved,where today after several adjustments to Felix Schlags design, the overall appearance shows remarkable high quality and beauty.

I believe this would be a opportun-time for young collectors starting out. Theres many rolls left right now just waiting to be cherry-picked.

In the years ahead dont be surprized to see this series explode with collector interest,due primarily being very diversified and able to collect in different categories.

A well known expert in the field,Jaime Hernandez-mentioned a few years back with this high mintage,there are probably many left to be found in rolls yet.

Will you be the next collector in finding one ?
