See NGC's Census Report for this Coin
Owner's Description
Mintage: 136.8 Million
Full Step Availability: 1%
Population MS66 5FS: 23/1
Date/mm Info: Lustrous eye appealing examples are available but full steps are rare.
Coin Description:
The coin has an almost glossy appearance with a golden patina. The obverse strike is weak in the center but the reverse shows very good detail in Monticello with 5 strong defined steps.
Comments:
Not the most attractive nickel in the set, but the rarity of the steps makes any full step example for this date a prize. Where else in the numismatic world can you get a coin with a population of less than 25 in the top grade for $250. Even the population in MS66 without full steps is rather small at 215/18 (12/2011). The existence of the mint sets from this year will certainly yield many more premium gems, but remember, only 1 in 100 will have full steps. Don't expect the population of this date/mm in full steps to increase much. Instead, expect the price of these coveted full steps examples to rise in price over the upcoming years.
