<p>[QUOTE=&quot;samjimmy, post: 151071, member: 3813&quot;]Perhaps that&#039;s because few are willing to spend $15 (or whatever it is) to have them grade a 2006 nickel?&nbsp; I don&#039;t know what the pop reports are for other grades (nor do I honestly care), but it seems to me to be pointless.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.pcgs.com/prices/frame.chtml?type=date&amp;filename=jefferson_nickel_mod" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgs.com/prices/frame.chtml?type=date&amp;filename=jefferson_nickel_mod" rel="nofollow">For example</a> (and this is just off the PCGS price guide from their site, a.k.a. the PCBS price guide)...</p><p><br /></p><p>84198 1966 SMS&nbsp; CA</p><p>MS64 = $17</p><p>MS65 = $40</p><p>MS66 = $60</p><p>MS67 = $175</p><p>MS68 = $3500</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course that&#039;s not the most ridiculous jump in price, it just happened to be on the page I was looking at, at the top.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just for gits and shiggles, what&#039;s the population breakdown for this coin &amp; year?&nbsp; I&#039;ll be using the numers to show that if it is rare, it&#039;s only rare because so few coins have been submitted (either in total and.or percentage of coins minted).&nbsp; Point being that many of these coins exist, they might not be graded but they exist.&nbsp; Contrast this to some of the denoms and years of proof coins where under 1,000 were ever minted at all, let alone survive, let alone survive in MS60+ (the equiv. of) grades and I think it&#039;s utterly asinine to spend $400 on this type of coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Plus, it wouldn&#039;t be surprising if a MS66 of the same year would probably go for $25, and I&#039;m willing to bet that a MS67 and an MS66 would pretty much be... the same.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
