Mint: Denver (D)
Denomination: 5 Cents
Composition: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel
Designer: Felix Schlag
Certification: PCGS MS66 FS – Full Steps
The 1950-D Jefferson Nickel stands among the most desirable issues of the series, renowned for its low mintage of just 2.6 million coins — the lowest regular-issue mintage for any Jefferson Nickel until the modern commemoratives. This example, graded MS66 FS (Full Steps) by PCGS, exemplifies the highest standards of strike and preservation, displaying crisp, fully defined steps on Monticello — a hallmark of elite minting quality.
This specimen displays exceptional natural toning, radiating subtle hues of amber, lilac, and sea-green across lustrous surfaces. The toning enhances the coin’s visual depth, offering a stunning contrast between warm and cool shades that complement the nickel’s metallic brilliance.
As one of the key dates in the Jefferson Nickel series, the 1950-D is coveted by both advanced registry collectors and those seeking a cornerstone of mid-century U.S. coinage. Few examples survive with such outstanding surfaces and strong step definition.
