I have been told that there are certain dates for the Jefferson Nickel that are rare to find one with full steps in a MS 66. Which one 1969-D went for 25.000.00. My Question is how accurate is what's shown on you tube about how older Nickels are worth a lot of money having Full Steps and being a higher grade mint state. And does this include proof nickels, it was said check your mint sets, is that the same as proof set? Any information I appreciate thank you. Randysonline

While NGC hasn't viewed the videos you mentioned, there is no doubt that a number of entries in the Jefferson Nickel series are scarce to rare having well-defined steps. NGC certifies such coins with either five full steps (5FS) or six full steps (6FS), as both will bring a premium for most dates. Some idea of relative rarity can be gleaned from studying the NGC Census for this series.

The full step designations are not made for Proof and Special Mint Set (SMS) coins, as these are superior strikes and are not rare with this feature.
