See NGC's Census Report for this Coin
Owner's Description
Mintage 74.5 Million
Full Step Availability: 0.5%
Population MS66: 119/0
Date/mm: Quite a few are baggy and/or lightly detailed in the centers
Coin Description:
As expected for the date, the details are mushy in the centers, specifically the steps on the reverse and the ear area on the obverse. Otherwise, the coin is actually well struck. There is extensive die wear which yields superb luster on this lightly golden toned Jefferson. The surfaces are not spectacular but many of the distractions are remnant planchet flaws including the large flaw above the steps.
Comments:
As any experience Jefferson Nickel collector can attest, they find themselves apologizing for the quality of the later date nickels. Compared to a pre-war time nickel, this coin is a chocolate mess, but for 1955, this is about as good as they come and worth of the assigned top pop grade.
