Design and Specifications of the 1967 Nickel
The 1967 Jefferson Nickel continued the long-standing design introduced in 1938. This year is notable in U.S. coinage history as it marked the beginning of a three-year period (1965-1967) when the U.S. Mint refrained from using mint marks on circulating coins to discourage hoarding by collectors.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in the value of 1967 Nickels. Circulated examples are generally worth face value, but uncirculated coins can command significant premiums. For circulation strikes, coins in MS65 and above are highly sought after, with MS67 examples being quite rare and valuable.
Special Mint Set coins are generally of higher quality than circulation strikes, but premium prices are reserved for specimens in SP66 and above. The absence of mint marks in 1967 means that the quality of strike and overall eye appeal become even more important factors in determining value.

Luster is a key factor in determining the desirability of uncirculated 1967 Nickels. Coins with full, cartwheel luster are more valuable than those with subdued or spotty luster. Toning can also impact value, with attractively toned coins often commanding premiums among collectors.
For Special Mint Set coins, cameo contrast between frosted devices and mirrored fields can significantly increase value. Deep Cameo or Ultra Cameo examples are particularly desirable. Additionally, any error coins from this year, such as off-center strikes or die cracks, can be valuable due to their rarity.
