<p>[QUOTE="chascat, post: 8309878, member: 76792"]I just remembered my book written by Tomaska in 1991 called "Cameo and brilliant proof coinage of the 1950 to 1970 era". This paragraph re: the 1966 SMS nickel may help shed some light..."The typical 1966 Jefferson nickel, like the larger denominations of this year, tend to be of higher quality when compared to the SMS nickels of the previous year. Most exhibit proof-like mirrors and are fairly attractive. Most also exhibit some weakness in the high point detail. Typically, the lower part of Jefferson's jawbone will be pitted, and some of the steps of Monticello on the reverse will not be struck up." I hope this may help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
