1949-D Nickel, MS68 Five Full Steps
Sole Finest Full Steps Example

1949-D 5C MS68 Five Full Steps NGC. This Denver issue is relatively collectible in Full Steps, although such coins are conditionally rare at the Superb Gem level. The current coin is the sole finest Full Steps example certified (3/26). Softly frosted luster yields warm rose-gold toning over silvery surfaces. Some die erosion in the fields and softness on the devices is typical of the issue, while the steps of Monticello are contrastingly well detailed. NGC Census: 1 in 68, 0 finer (3/26).(Registry values: N2998)
