<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheNickelGuy, post: 1588351, member: 20201&quot;]Actually there are many common date nickels with value. What one needs to know is what makes any one Jefferson valuable and there are many factors. </p><p>Mint State, Strike Quality, Step Count, and Varieties. </p><p>So which ones are most difficult to find with these factors that puts that one coin head and shoulders above another of the same date and mintmark? At first glance they all appear the same as any other. </p><p>For basic collectability there are key and semi key dates. 1950 D, 1939 D, and then the 1938, 1938 D, 1938 S, 1939 S, and then the 11 war nickels I suppose. For specialists, there is a much deeper study. The 1953 S, 1954 S, and quite a few of the 1960&#039;s dates with sharp strike and full steps. There are quite a few varieties. 1939 P D and S with type 1 and 2 steps 1939 doubled reverse, 1941 Large S and small S, 1942 D over horizontal D, 1943 P 3 over 2, 1943 P doubled eye, 1945 doubled reverse, 1946 D over inverted D, 1953 D over horizontal D, and many other repunched mintmarks and lesser known doubled dies. I find it to be a bottomless hole for collecting and a very affordable and rewarding series. Been at it almost 40 years and still not bored or done with it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
