1949 Jefferson Nickel. MS-66 FS (PCGS). A satiny Gem with an uncommon boldness of strike in a 1949 Jefferson nickel. The outward appearance for both sides is one of brilliance, although a more patient appreciation of the reverse shows that it is lightly toned in champagne-gold iridescence. Lustrous and smooth in hand. Our offerings for Full Steps 1949 nickels have been few and far between over the years, and with good reason for this is a very challenging issue to locate with a strong strike. This is just such a coin, and as an upper end Gem it combines condition and strike rarity in one irresistible package for the advanced Jefferson nickel Set Registry collector. From the George "Buddy" Byers Buckeye Collection. Earlier ex Heritages FUN Signature Auction of January 2020, lot 3444.
