1929(P) is very common in all grades except fully struck gem, but even the latter are available for a price.
1929(P) nickels are usually well struck but not fully struck. This is typical of nickels from the 1920s. Partly to blame was wear on the master hubs, but incompletely hubbed dies and greater than optimal die-set distance seems to have contributed to this problem, as well.
The typical 1929(P) nickel is sufficiently lustrous, with the soft frostiness so common to nickels from this period. Really blazing examples are rare, as are satiny pieces.
Varieties: There is a good doubled-die obverse, the doubling being most visible in and around date (FS-1929-101).
