The 1951-D Jefferson nickel

The 1951 Denver Jefferson:

( You can also view all this in Ngc Registry)

 

This year was no different, like most 50's & 60's minted Jeffersons.  When collectors out there were looking for
quality' they had their work cut-out for them.  When the US Mint back in that time-era  pumped out
millions of these,officials never took the time to inspect them.The very few that does show half decent quality
will most certainly cost you some money obtaining them.

As of 2011:
After referencing, I've noticed with the Top 2 Grading Services in our country, (NGC and PCGS),  there
was a Combining Total of  (1,178) that was Certified, with only (55) that reached the MS-67 Level.

August 2017 Update:
In just 6 years-  NGC Total Graded 738  where now (77) have graded MS-67 
PCGS Total Graded 1,523 where only (13) are at the MS67 Level.   / Its pretty obvious that Pcgs shows more value
than Ngc on this date. I think most collectors are standing back and see how Ngc handles all this- hopefully for
the better.
