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:

The 1964-D Jefferson Nickel has the highest mintage for any Nickel ever struck by the U.S. Mint. This was also the first year in which the mint struck over a billion Nickels for any date.

Compare this to the 1950-D Jefferson Nickel which has a mintage of 2,630,000. Despite the large mintage of the 1964-D Jefferson Nickel, it is also one of the toughest dates in the Jefferson Nickel series to find in high grades. In fact, PCGS has only graded about 35 examples in MS66 with none higher. And with Full Steps, it is considered even scarcer with about 5 or so known examples, in MS66 Full Steps with none being finer.

Out of this large mintage for the 1964-D Jefferson Nickel, there are probably some very nice examples in MS66 grade or higher with Full Steps details just waiting to be found.
