Description
1953-S Jefferson Nickel, MS65
Five Full Steps, Sole NGC Example So-Honored
1953-S 5C MS65 Five Full Steps NGC. The 1953-S has an
unwanted but accurate reputation as being among the worst-struck of
all Jefferson nickels. The Bowers Guide Book suggests merely
1 in 5,000 examples have five full steps, and even that distinction
does not guarantee sharpness anywhere else on the coin. This
example is softly defined with some peripheral weakness, but among
the few high-grade '53-S survivors it is sharp by comparison. The
fields are partially prooflike and supremely lustrous with a pale
champagne-gold hue. NGC reports just this single MS65 coin with the
Five Full Steps designation (10/16).(Registry values: P1)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22UR, PCGS# 84051, Greysheet# 3299)
Weight: 5.00 grams
