Owner's Description

Mintage: 43.4 Million
Full Step Availability: 10%
Population in MS67: 84/0
Date/mm Information: According to Nagengast, only 10 die pairs were used for the entire run resulting in dull lusterless and weakly struck coins.

Coin Description: Remarkably clean surfaces are complimented by an alluring almond patina and full satin luster. Not the most attractive coin in the collection but it is very distinctive and technically deserving of the assigned grade.

Comments: At first glance, this coin appears to be subpar when compared to other pre-war premium gem Jefferson Nickels. But as anyone who has ever scoured 41-S rolls in their search for the large "S" can attest, this coin is well struck and is a fantastic example for the date/mm.
