1997-P 5C SMS, FS Full Steps This rare 1997-P Jefferson Nickel was struck as a Special Mint Set (SMS) specimen and exhibits the highly sought-after Full Steps (FS) designation. Graded by PCGS or NGC, this premium example displays sharp, complete stair steps on Monticello with exceptional strike quality and mirror-like fields characteristic of SMS coins. Only a very small percentage of 1997-P nickels achieve the coveted Full Steps designation, making this a significant find for advanced Jefferson Nickel collectors. The 1997-P SMS Full Steps is particularly scarce and represents one of the key modern issues in the series. Date: 1997-P Mint: Philadelphia Type: Special Mint Set (SMS) Variety: Full Steps (FS) Condition: Premium Quality with exceptional strike A stunning example perfect for inclusion in a high-grade Jefferson Nickel registry set or Full Steps collection.
