Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
The condition of 2014 Nickels significantly impacts their value, particularly for uncirculated examples. While circulated coins are generally worth face value, uncirculated specimens in MS65 and above can command premiums. The highest grades, such as MS67 and MS68, are scarce and highly sought after by collectors.
For proof coins, the difference between PR69 and PR70 can be substantial in terms of value. Cameo and Deep Cameo designations can also increase desirability and value among collectors.

Strike quality is crucial for 2014 Nickels, with fully struck examples being more desirable. Luster plays a significant role in determining grade and value, with coins exhibiting strong, unbroken luster being more valuable.
While not typically known for toning, nicely toned examples can command premiums if the toning is attractive and natural. Additionally, error coins, such as off-center strikes or doubled dies (if discovered), could be valuable due to their rarity and collector interest in modern mint errors.
