What is the rarest Jefferson FS in each decade in MS65?

keets

38-40-----------1939 Rev. 1938.
41-50-----------1949.
51-60-----------1953-S.
61-70-----------there are several issues with no/single digit FS examples.
71-80-----------1976.
81-90-----------1982-D.
91-date----------most of the issues are relatively easy to find with six full steps, but the planchets are quite marked up since they're now polished and appear PL.

these are just my guesses and don't include any of the varieties which are all hard to find even without FS in Mint State. the fun is in the searching, though!!!!

It should be remembered that while Keets list is no doubt accurate the answers would
change dramatically if the question were "which are the toughest Jeffersons to find gem
with good strikes?" Some which are relatively easy to find with FS are very tough to find
with nice clean surfaces and with otherwise full strikes.

These coins are simply tough no matter how you define quality.
