<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 3299350, member: 31533&quot;]If it was graded fairly at a MS64, the value would be between about 2.40 - 5.00. If a grade lower, at about a MS63, the value would be between about .35 - 4.00. If for some reason this coin could grade MS65 it would be between about 5.00-6.25. </p><p><br /></p><p>That being said, that is pretty much &#039;retail&#039; full price and many dealers don&#039;t sell at that price. I will be honest with you, I think that if I was looking for a BU 1969 D Jefferson Nickel, one that would probably grade MS64 or MS65 in the raw (not slabbed already by a tpg), I don&#039;t think I would want to pay more than 3.00. But if I was looking for one that to me looked really nice and fit in, I think 3.00 would probably be ok to pay. That&#039;s just me. However, if you did sell it to, say a dealer (presuming one would purchase it from you, which at the value it has is not likely), you might expect to only get about 50 cents tops for it. Because dealers have to have it in inventory and also market.</p><p><br /></p><p>One of the problems with this one not being more valuable is a thing on Jefferson nickels called &#039;full steps&#039;. This one definitely does not have that. Full steps is the back (reverse) side where the building is at the bottom steps. Full steps you see full separation of the steps and each line showing a step is clear of any dings that would mar it at the step. Many years in Jeffersons don&#039;t usually have full steps so that if you did have a coin that was like that and it was so strongly struck and nice that it had full steps, you could very well expect that &#039;normal&#039; coin (like yours is) to really be valuable. An example would be this year, where a normal (not full step) one is only valued at the 5-6 $ amount for a MS65, one of the major tpgs indicates that a full step one at that same grade would be valued at $35,000. (though it might or might not bring that if being sold).</p><p><br /></p><p>Jeffersons are a neat issue (meaning that it is a Jefferson nickel vs being, say a Washington quarter) but Jeffersons have a lot of different things that go into them as far as what is of value and what is collectible. It is not a very easy denomination to fully understand. I hope that you might read some of the things on line to understand more of what you have.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
