Owner's Description

Here's a very low pop 1963 Denver nickel.

I've been on the hunt for a good couple of years searching for a Mintstate Grade of 66. Finally finding
one with smooth fields on both-sides of this nickel was pure luck. With this date and grade their really
tough to find. And most nickels in this decade had their fair share of poor detail and die disruptions.
The population of these and photos above, pretty much speaks for itself.

I also found one Certified thru SEGS-1963-D MS63 w/bridge/nicks having 5555 FullSteps! There's no
way I'd ever be able to obtain one with fullsteps in a Pcgs or Ngc / So, I got as close as I could.

Also with this decade/especially with this year of 1963, with most of these denver nickels they were really showing not only their rough-surfaces, but also the dies were all worn out! It's not the sort of nickel an official of the US Mint
would want to show off at one of their high flountin- conferences,,, So finding (any) nice smooth surfaces/clean fields, you will certainly have your work cut-out for ya',,,,,

PCGS TOTAL: 257 with only (3) in MS-66 GRADE/ none higher
NGC TOTAL: 93 with only (19) in MS-66 GRADE/ none higher
