I need some value determination: (worth anything over face?) I have some nickels in XF/MS condition from -1952 -1964 -1966 -1971-D -1974 (the '71-D and '74 are the only ones with shine still on 'em. Sorry I can't take a pic!)
If they still have a full 5-steps on the monticello they are usually worth considerably more...whats the mint on the 1952?
In XF and lower MS grades the steps aren't going to show really...and to make the FS grade they would have to be MS at the most... But some also have 6 steps and some 7 steps... Speedy
one guy on ebay had a certified 7-stepper, it was selling for around $800.00, too bad i dont remeber the year..
Certified by who is the question. 1950-D's are considered a key/semi-key date. I'd hang on to any you find.
