1956 Jefferson Denver with fullsteps.
Like most Jefferson nickels in the 1950s finding one with complete fullsteps is very challenging,
regardless of grade.My MS67 is a beauty in itself'however finding one in MS-66 FS is the ultimate
for me.
In reference to David Bowers he mentioned that throughout the annals of the five cent piece,the
Denver Mint has earned the lowest marks for quality of its coins.Finding any that show full details
will be very challenging.
I believe the Red Book of Buffalo and Jefferson nickels by David Bowers would be an exceptional
starting point for beginning collectors'in which I have read many times over.Collecting in the
Jefferson series has been a wonderful journey and I hope new collectors starting out will also enjoy
it as much as I have.
