Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in the value of 2001 Nickels, particularly for high-grade specimens. While circulated examples are abundant and hold little premium over face value, uncirculated coins in MS65 and above can command higher prices. The coin's relatively soft metal composition makes it susceptible to bag marks and contact marks, making pristine examples more desirable to collectors.

Factors affecting the value of 2001 Nickels include:
1. Strike quality: Well-struck coins with full steps on Monticello are more valuable.
2. Luster: Coins with original, vibrant luster are preferred by collectors.
3. Toning: While not common on modern nickels, attractive natural toning can increase value.
4. Die state: Late die state coins with interesting die cracks or cuds may appeal to error collectors.
5. Certified examples: Coins graded and encapsulated by reputable grading services often command higher premiums, especially in top grades.
