Anyone have any thoughts on this one?

It looks like a proof. If so, they are all full steps.

 

I also have a 61 and 68 in similar condition!

 

Do you have any pics of any non proof examples?

 

My 68 S.

 

My 61, back pics coming...

 

Proof Nickels do not get FS designations.

Welcome to CT.

 

That sucks and thank you.
Even being a proof, it is in almost flawless condition.
My pictures don't do it service, any flaws perceived are on the plastic cover...thanks for the reply.

 

When my 68 returns, I will post pics.
I believe it will be a PR69 or better. It is uncirculated and has full steps.
This one I'm posting now is not mine, it is a pic from PCGS as an example.

 

Finding a 1964 full step nickel like finding a needle in a hay stack.....next to impossible even though it was one of the highest mintages in US nickel history.
The op image is a proof not given FS designation.

 

That's already been clarified, thanks for the reply any way.

 

Also, this 68-s proof was given a (fs-038).
Am I mistook in thinking this is a FS designation?

 

FS numbers refer to varirties . It stands for Fivaz-Stanton numbers as references to each variety.

 

Ahh, I see.

I got these Jefferson nickels (61-P 64-P and 69-S) from an estate sale with a bunch of other coins, they are uncirculated and basically flawless. I'm hoping to getthem certified in a top grade and to put them up for auction eventually.
I am just starting and still learning the ropes..
I also have a 1902 Indian Head uncirculated from same estate, think I'm keeping that one though!

 

*68 not 69

 

If these are proof, and I do think the 1964 is, the premiums aren't that high. Grading fees at around $20-$25 per coin would eat away most of the profit.

The PCGS price guide on these in the grade of PR69 is:

1961 - $100
1964 - $25
1968-S - $15

If any of the 3 are designated Cameo or Deep Cameo the premium would increase substantially, especially the 1961. However, only the 1968-S appears to have any Cameo properties.......and of course it is the least valuable of the 3.

Would like to see better photos though.

 

As a Jefferson collector I can assure that they are not worth the fees to grade, then trying to recoup your investment not going to happen.
I have rolls of unc and proof nickels and I give them away .
I paid off a car with rolled searched Jeffersons that I had at home before I got married....now understand there are Jefferson worth some big money.
But they are not the dates you say you have.

 

When I get home I will take better pics. (If my other half didn't ship them today).
The 61 seems to have a gun metal blue patina to it, I'll try to get better pictures. I haven't taken them out of the holders (hesitant) at all.

The 61 seems to have a rather dark or gun metal blue patina to it and the mint mark seems strange to me. then again, I'm am pretty inexperienced and just learning.

 

Did you send them in already?

 

I have submitted the online PCGS form, I don't know if they were shipped out. 50/50 chance my hubby sent them or not....
