Collection piece:
This was the last year that the San Francisco Mint struck Nickels until resuming production 14 years later in 1968 with the proof issues. Of the 3 1954 coins in this set, this one is the coolest. This is the S/S repunched mintmark. Having almost a tiger stripe finish this coin has good luster and good color. The steps are basically nonexistent.

Notes from Nagengast:
5 Full Step Availability: 1:3000
6 Full Step Rarity: Unverified
Most 5 step coins have a weak strike, and usually that is what the collector must settle for.
