Minted in Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco, each location's coins have distinct markings.
Coins without a mint mark are from Philadelphia, while 'D' and 'S' denote Denver and San Francisco.
Value is influenced by mint mark, condition, and rarity. 'S' marked coins are often more valuable.
Uncirculated coins or those with Full Steps details command higher prices among collectors.
Special attention is given to 'Full Steps' nickels, indicating a well-struck coin with visible steps.
A standard circulated 1952 nickel is worth its face value, but fine condition coins can be worth $0.30-$2.
Uncirculated coins range from $1 to over $100, with Full Steps versions at the higher end.
Rare errors, like overdates or doubled dies, can significantly increase a coin's value.
Always consult a professional coin appraiser to accurately assess your 1952 Jefferson Nickel's value.
