Lot Description

Strike and Condition Rarity 1954-S Nickel PCGS MS-65+ FS 1954-S Jefferson Nickel. MS-65+ FS (PCGS). Lightly toned in reddish-apricot iridescence, this lovely upper end Gem also sports razor sharp striking detail from the rims to the centers. The 1954-S is scarce to rare at all grade levels in the Full Steps category, and this MS-65+ FS is decidedly in the latter category. If you are a Set Registry participant with a focus on Jefferson nickels, the fleeting nature of this offering can hardly be overstated. Provenance: From the George "Buddy" Byers Buckeye Collection. Earlier ex Heritage's sale of the Steve Strom Collection, January 2016 FUN Signature Auction, lot 4894. PCGS Population: 1; 3 finer in this category (MS-67 FS finest). PCGS# 84054. NGC ID: 22UU.
