1960 Jefferson Nickel. MS-65 FS (PCGS). Satiny and lightly toned surfaces present lovely champagne-gold toning to the viewer. Remarkably well struck for the issue, we note impressively full detail from the rims to the centers. This Philadelphia Mint issue, of which 55,416,000 pieces were produced, inaugurates a challenging decade in the Jefferson nickel series, one which includes many issues that are notorious strike rarities in the certified Full Steps category. The 1960 is one of these, the present example among the finest obtainable for todays discerning collectors. From the George "Buddy" Byers Buckeye Collection.
