Description

1947 5C, FS (Full Steps) — NGC MS-67. This exceptional 1947 Jefferson Nickel represents a premium example of the post-war coinage era, certified by NGC with the coveted Full Steps designation and a strong MS-67 grade. The Full Steps designation indicates sharp, complete striking of the reverse steps of Monticello, a condition rarity that significantly enhances collector appeal and value. The 1947 nickel production reflects America's return to normal coinage operations following World War II's suspension of nickel in circulating coins. This particular specimen exhibits the lustrous surfaces and excellent eye appeal expected at the MS-67 level, with only minor, inconsequential imperfections that keep it from the higher grades. The Full Steps designation is particularly noteworthy, as many examples from this period show wear or incomplete striking on the reverse, making this certified example especially desirable to serious collectors.
