1943-D 5C, FS MS66FS 认证号21822575, PCGS号84020

1943-D Jefferson Nickel MS66FS { PCGS-3 } (Apr'2013) Beautiful lustrous gunmetal gray surfaces are augmented by the subtle underlying pastel colors of cobalt blue, lilac, gold, rose and fuchsia. This wartime gem features the large "D" over the dome and the steps of Monticello are each clearly delineated. In the face of rationing and support for the war effort, nickel and copper were too precious to waste on making money, so a longtime favorite silver, not used in this denomination since the half-dime, was again pressed into service.

The 1943-D Jefferson Nickel is the most common of all the War-time "Silver" issues.  Thus, collectors have thousands of high-grade Mint State examples from which to choose, including hundreds in MS-67.  The quality of the 1943-D Nickels is excellent. In fact, this is one of the rare instances where the Full Step population exceeds that of the non-Full Steps.  The finest examples certified by PCGS (as of February 2012) include 137 MS-67 non-Full Steps and 2 MS-68 Full Steps.
