So the value must be found for proof issues only. I have not seen any price guide for full step proofs. I can tell you that the current dealer bid for 1961 Proof 67 is $11.00   11-08-2004, 03:23 PM   #3 (permalink) VAMING Junior Member   Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: San Diego Posts: 9 http://www.varietynickels.com/priceguide.htm This where I was talking about as "website" and thanks for a quick reply.   11-08-2004, 07:32 PM   #4 (permalink) jtwax Senior Member     Join Date: Mar 2004 Location: Montana Posts: 192 Quote: Originally Posted by VAMING Hello, Well am new here but was hoping to maybe get a answer to my ?...

Your Jefferson nickel is a PROOF issue. The price guide you were looking at on my website at www.varietynickels.com is for BUSINESS strikes (or circulation issues), and not proofs. Most proof nickels are struck with Full Steps because of the way they are struck and the dies prepared thus making full step proofs common and not highly valued. Proof issues become more valuable when they have cameo and deep cameo surfaces but for now it appears that your coin is in the $12 range. Hope that helps. __________________ Regards, J.
