Rarity and Survival Estimates Learn More

Grades	Survival Estimate The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts' opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.	Numismatic Rarity Numismatic Rarity converts the Survival Estimate for a particular coin into a number from 1 to 10 (with decimal increments) based on the PCGS Rarity Scale. The higher the number, the more rare the coin.	Relative Rarity By Type Relative Rarity By Type ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Type. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.	Relative Rarity By Series Relative Rarity By Series ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Series. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.

#1 MS66 PCGS grade

Jaime Hernandez:

The 1960-D Jefferson Nickel is the most difficult coin to find with the Full Steps designation from 1938 to 1964. As of 2014, PCGS has not graded any 1960-D Full Step Jefferson Nickels.

Most 1960-D Jefferson Nickel planchets tend to have lots of nicks and scratches usually keeping them from obtaining a high uncirculated grade. The reverse for this issue is also usually weakly struck. It is a very difficult coin to find in grades of MS66 and higher, with possibly less than 50 to 75 coins in existence that would grade MS66 or higher.
