Nickel in 2007? BS not SMS.
I just looked up what I paid for one and I think I am going to be sick?

Well it just so happens I used to try and keep up with such, and I stopped in late 2007. In the 2,100 prices I had in my sales database, only 2 were 1967 PCGS-66 coins. They both sold on Teletrade during consecutive weeks in April 2007, for $600 and $541 respectively. Back then the population was 21/2 with no FS; today the population is 101/2 with no FS. For what it's worth, in May 2007 one of the PCGS-67 coins sold on Teletrade for $1,638.
Hope this helps.
If we were all the same, the world would be an incredibly boring place.

Well, I guess that I could have paid more then.
I paid $500 and was wanting to confirm that I didn't write down the wrong price on my spread sheet.
I think I will change my cost to about $20 in my spread sheet so later in life when I get older and more senile (than I am now) that I won't feel so bad.
Don't feel bad, almost everything was higher around then

Buy in haste, repent at leisure....
Just kidding... the price cycle of some coins can be terribly disappointing... Supply and demand rules, tempered with a bit of 'feeding frenzy'....Cheers, RickO
Dont feel bad Grand I am sure every one here is feeling the same pain. I know I am I just wished I would of hanged onto my AMD and not sold it at $13
I pay around 35ȼ when I buy this date. Especially if they look like anything the 3 pictured in CoinFacts that show missing ear, ear lobe and hair details, similar to the 1954-S PCGS MS67FS but worse. But than again, just might be the major discernment in distinguishing a BS from a SMS. Afterall, the same dies that struck the SMS coins were used to strike the business strikes but with way-far less coining press tonnage pressure. (One explanation I can come up with and the Vietnam war is another, the lack of fuel to anneal the planchets properly, to make them softer) And the SMS dies were most likely acid treated before making the circulating coins. It would be great to locate an example of this date similar to my 1965 business strike and compared with a SMS coin. The 1966 has alluded me as well. But there are a few PCGS MS66 examples on ebay for around $50 and interestingly, with no bites in the last 90 days. And here's one with a bit more ear detail, hmmm......but maybe its a SMS https://www.ebay.com/itm/1967-JEFFERSON-NICKEL-GRADES-034-BRILLIANT-UNCIRCULATED-034-/312142962366?hash=item48ad2b9ebe:g:yroAAOSwwwRbCBz2&nma=true&si=kphAIB3iXUs9fusSqWWy4teAJnI%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

I love a nicely stuck modern, but the risk of chasing grade rarities is the old supply-and-demand thing. Trying to anticipate future tastes is hard enough, but when there are perhaps hundreds of thousands or even millions of coins locked up in rolls in the back of peoples' safes and closets you never know what will come out of the woodwork down the road.
