Jaime Hernandez

The 1959-P Jefferson Nickel is a fairly common issue for the Jefferson nickel series. It is very common in most grades except in MS65 and higher where it becomes scarce. In MS66 condition it is a very difficult issue with less than a hundred or so known. With Full Steps it is even more difficult with about 50 examples or less known in MS66 FS. In MS67 it is extremely difficult to locate and less than a handful are known.

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.
