Jefferson Nickel: Who Owns What

How often each Jefferson Nickel coin actually turns up in a collection, measured by how many of the 5,235 collectors of this set have one. Coins are graded from Common to Extremely scarce against the set's most-owned coin — a measure of collecting frequency, not of how many survive.

Based on the share of this set's collectors who own each coin — how often it turns up in a collection, not how many survive. Not the Sheldon rarity scale.

About these numbers

Ownership counts come from the same live per-coin counters shown across the LuckyCoin catalog; set-level collector counts come from the annual full-collection scan behind The State of Coin Collecting 2026. Counts are collector-reported and aggregate-only. Scarcity tiers come from 100 × (1 − owners ÷ owners of the set's most-owned coin): Common under 25, Uncommon 25–49, Scarce 50–74, Very scarce 75–89, Extremely scarce 90+. This reflects how often a coin is collected, not its surviving population — it is not the Sheldon rarity scale. CC BY 4.0 with attribution.
