Exceptional 1946-D/D Nickel, MS66 Full Steps

1946-D/D 5C MS66 Full Steps PCGS. FS-501, previously FS-031. The mintmark is dramatically repunched with the first punch inverted. This valuable repunched mintmark is considered the second rarest of the original Jefferson "Top 10" in Mint State, second only to the 1942-D Over Horizontal D. This is only the second Full Steps example we have handled (and it is also the finest). The mint luster on this piece is thick and frosted, more suggestive of a San Francisco product than a Denver piece, in our opinion. Lightly toned with a pale golden overlay of patina on each side, the only mentionable abrasions are a couple of shallow marks on Jefferson's coat. Population: 12 in 66, 0 finer (5/08).
