1964 Nickel

The 1964 version of the Jefferson Nickel is worth on average $180.00 if in Mint State (uncirculated), while one in poor condition will have a value of just $0.05. If the coin has an error, or is certified, this will further add to its appeal and raise its price numismatically speaking.

1964 was the last year that the mint mark was located on the reverse to the right of Monticello, the plantation of Thomas Jefferson. If you have full steps, also abbreviated as FS, the coin is worth significantly more. Full Steps are the gold standard if you will. Much like Full Bands or Full Bell lines on some of the other coins. Full steps mean all 4 of the steps on the reverse are present and distinct.

While most 1964 Jefferson Nickels are worth just .05 there are some that are worth much more. If you happen to have one that is graded at MS-66 with full steps your coin could potentially be worth hundreds of dollars. This quality of a coin is rare however.
