Owner Comments:

The 45P was the one Jefferson War Nickel that has always commanded a premium in 67 both FS and NFS. I have two NFS coins, and I waited many years to acquire the 67FS. 67FS are very rare with no 68FS in census and only a few 68 NFS. The 67FS pop has doubled over the past few years. The best I could hope for at this time is a 67+FS. Interesting nickel since it has the 2nd highest mintage and is readily available below a 67 grade. I have read the quality was lower with the high production and the use of worn dies. Nice golden luster on this coin, but a little blotchy on the obverse bust of Jefferson, with some darker marks around reverse rim and above Monticello corners...either way, I am lucky to have this coin.
