Question for Jefferson Nickel experts

Coin Finder

The 1971 no S proof set is a tough one to find true?

Would it be better to crack out the no s nickel and have it graded or leave it intact in the set?

Finally, Isn't this nickel the rarest by far of any Jefferson nickel ever made??

Thanks Guys and gals I am very curious about these sets as the other no s sets have gone up in grey sheet and this one has not.

As for cracking or leaving, I can't tell you for sure.

As for its rarity and value - there is at least one other that is rarer, but yours is probably the most valuable. I'm no Jefferson expert, but I think there is known a unique example of a 1964D over inverted D nickel that has received much attention in the EV circle over the past year or so.

Since I doubt the no-S nickel is unique, it wouldn't be the rarest....but one of the rarest. VERY nice find, might I add.

For me personally I would prefer original packaging.I,d never break up a set myself to slab the one coin.
If the plastic case is still intact and not opened I,d leave them be.
If its not the rarest,it may be one of the rarest.Early proofs come to mind.

I've read and I'm assuming the two presentation 1966 proofs pieces given to Mrs Felix schlag are almost
unique....if I might add. Years ago, I've checked with the Schlag family through a dealer who has close ties and at that time they said they have no idea on the whereabouts of those two coins.
