CoinTrackers has population of the 1961 Jefferson Nickel at 73-&-1/2 (+) million and the 61-D at 229 hundred/million [+ 3X]. How on earth are the values given $25.00 high (61) and $1,250.00 high 61-D. See similar situations thru out. Pop most w/most $/as well in the year (comparing all mints). How can a recognized powerful coin site be Sooooo SLOPY????????? Is this a reflection on other Dept. I for one can't phantom some of these CHEAP AS HELL PRICES ON SILVER COINS OR THE AGED JEFFERSON NICKELS
What are the census numbers for each in grades, say, MS65 thru MS67 (including Full Steps)? What does this mean? "Pop most w/most $/as well in the year (comparing all mints)." Chris
Those coins cost that much because 1961 and 1961-d Jefferson nickels with full steps are really rare. 1961-d Jefferson nickel in PCGS plastic at MS-64 full step books for $13000. I have not looked up a pop report. 1961-d MS-64 Jefferson nickel with no full step designation books for $1.00.
1961-d nickel has a pop of 5 across all grades for full steps. 3-MS-64s 1-MS-64+ and 1 MS-65. The last time the 65 sold, was for over $20,000.
CoinTrackers isn’t some great coin site, sir. In fact it’s one you would be wise to avoid in the future.
