[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 3772295, member: 15309"]Ok, first things first, the FS (full step) designation is not used for proof coins as they are double struck and are supposed to have full details. Second, the chances that your nickel will grade PR69 is really remote, you should expect PR66-67 from a typical well preserved proof set. The early 60’s proof sets were sold in cellophane mint packaging and many of the Jeffersons have developed monochromatic yellow, blue, or purple toning. And while attractive, the color schemes are so common that they don’t really garner a premium price unless that have cameo contrast or rainbow toning. I recently submitted and sold this rainbow toned 1964 Jefferson Nickel which graded PF66 for $150.

The * designation indicates that one side of the coin has cameo contrast.[/QUOTE]
