Description
1953-S Nickel, MS66 Full Steps
Tied for Finest With Full Steps
1953-S 5C MS66 Full Steps PCGS. The 1953-S is one of the
strike rarities in the Jefferson nickel series, posing a challenge
for Registry collectors focused on Full Steps coins. PCGS lists
only 29 submissions of a Full Steps 1953-S nickel, the finest being
two MS66 specimens, one of which is offered here. This piece
displays satiny luster with a hint of light champagne toning.
Moderate die erosion is apparent on each side, causing metal
flowlining in the margins, but the steps of Monticello are sharply
defined. The auction record for a Full Steps 1953-S is $24,000,
realized by an MS65 Full Steps PCGS coin in our 2019 FUN Signature.
This higher-grade example has the potential to raise that bar even
higher. Population: 2 in 66 Full Steps, 0 finer (7/22).(Registry values: P1)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22UR, PCGS# 84051, Greysheet# 3299)
Weight: 5.00 grams
Metal: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel
