Jaime Hernandez

Most 1977-S Proof Jefferson nickels came in really nice quality. Examples in PR69 Deep Cameo appear to be the norm. In perfect PR70 Deep Cameo condition, they are much scarcer.

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.
