Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6493 Posts	Posted 01/16/2026 10:37 am Plate coin for 1954-D Jefferson nickel, Full Steps. PCGS MS66+FS, estimated value $8000-9000. An ordinary MS66+ 1954-D nickel sells for $200-300. Ignoring that I cannot believe this nickel is graded MS66+, I think it is an amazing stretch to declare it Full Steps and increase the value 30-40x. https://www.pcgs.com/cert/45841563 Report this Post to the Staff
