Jaime Hernandez

The 1987-S Proof Jefferson Nickel is considered a common issue for the series. Examples up to PR69 Deep Cameo are very common. In perfect PR70 Deep Cameo they are much scarcer and command a small premium over PR69 Deep Cameo examples.

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.
