1943-D 5c Jefferson Nickel 5.5 STEPS
Here we have a 1943-D Jefferson Nickel with 5.5 STEPS and it's a MS 65. I have been looking for one forever.
1943-D had a Mintage of 15, 294, 000, designed by Felix Schlag.
What fun it is finding these coins after may decades sitting around in drawers.
I cut the lights in the last photo to get a little better detail in the image.

Great find! Wonder how many War nickels exist w/full steps. I'd say not many.

Collecting full step nickels is a challenge. Good luck

That is the first one that I have found. I don't count the modern nickels as they all have steps.

Good shot. I usually count them with a loop. Glad you found the one you were looking for. The fin is in the hunt. Thanks Mike.

Today my hunt was for 1917 Walking Liberty Half Dollars. You know obverse/reverse mint marks.
