1950-D Jefferson Nickel NGC MS66 Full Steps

Lowest Mintage Jefferson Nickels in High Grade!

The 1950-D Jefferson Nickel is the lowest mintage of the entire series. Just over 2.6 million were struck – compare that to 2018 when more than 1.2 BILLION were struck! So why the shortage? The United States was in recession that year, and little demand existed for nickels in the area served by the Denver Mint.

Of course, this shortage resulted in a frenzy of hoarding, with thousands of rolls being preserved. This isn’t just the lowest mintage Jefferson of all time, it’s also the most widely hoarded nickel since the 1938-D Buffalo! Finding a quantity of this date in any condition is difficult, but we managed to find a small number graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in Gem Uncirculated Mint State-66 (MS66) condition – just 1 point away from a Superb Gem grade – with a special FS or “Full Steps” designation, meaning the steps of Jefferson’s Monticello home on the coin’s reverse are well-struck and visible.

• LOWEST MINTAGE JEFFERSON NICKEL – The 1950-D Jefferson Nickel struck at the Denver Mint is the lowest mintage coin of the entire Jefferson Nickel series.

• EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH GRADE – Your 1950-D Jefferson Nickel has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in Gem Uncirculated Mint State-66 (MS66) condition.
