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.

Jaime Hernandez:

There are several varieties in the circulation strike Jefferson Nickel series. Most of them are re-punched mint marks or over mint marks. The 1955-D over S mint mark is considered scarce in all grades. Therefore, any example is quite a find. There are several 1950-D over S mint mark Jefferson Nickel varieties known but FS-034 or OMM-001 is the most popular of all and the one that commands higher prices. The top serif of the S mint mark can be seen underneath the top of the D mint mark for this variety and it is very prominent and easily visible with the naked eye.
