Is this a 1954 S/D Jefferson Nickel?

    for me, the second photo shows what you have but is pixelated a bit plus blurry a little.

    you need a closer photo shot straight on and not zoomed with software

    is that really a die crack next to trust or just a bad scratch?

    Thats the best shot I could get with a camera phone. I think it is an S/D but Jefferson nickels are not my specialty. Unfortunately, that is a scratch (i think staple) on the obverse.

    Nice variety. How did you obtain it?

    Just remember...the advice you receive on a site is worth every bit of what you paid for it.

    I cant actually remember. I got 3 1954-s about 15-20 years ago and recently rediscovered when cleaning out a closet. I wasn't even aware of the variety until I searched the web to see if these were worth anything. This was the only 1 of the 3 that looks like over mintmark. Too bad about the scratch though. Maybe still worth $15: to someone looking to fill a hole?

    The "scratch" looks raised in the picture, that would make it a die break. At least that has been the way I have looked at them over the years.
