2006 D Jefferson Nickel

Notes:

A new design was implemented starting in 2006, and this new design is what we will call the modern nickel. Despite the new design on the Obverse the reverse remained mostly the same. Look for FS Full steps on reverse.

Full steps is the standard when looking at the reverse. All lines present and clean are what you should look for when buying and selling.

How much is a 2006 D Jefferson Nickel worth?

In Average Circulated (AC) condition it's worth around 5 cents, one in certified mint state (MS+) condition could bring as much as $1 at auction. This price does not reference any standard coin grading scale. So when we say Average Circulated, we mean in a similar condition to other coins circulated in 2006, and mint state meaning it is certified MS+ by one of the top coin grading companies. *** [?].
