The 1947-D Nickel is very common in circulated grades up to about MS64 condition. In Uncirculated condition it requires a lot of searching to find MS65 examples or higher. MS66 examples begin to be scarce, especially with the Full Steps designation. In MS67 it is very difficult to find and it's much easier to just buy an example. However, expect to pay a significant premium to acquire an MS67 example, especially with Full Steps as they can be fairly expensive due to their scarcity.
