Got this 1968 S Jefferson nickel handed down to me from my dad

My dad passed down his coin collection to me since I have recently gotten into collecting coins. He bought a 1968 S Jefferson nickel from a coin shop when he was a kid. This one seems to be in quite good condition and the full steps are visable on the reverse. I have heard that full step nickels can be worth quite a bit. What would be the rough value of my coin and would it potentially be worth getting it graded? Sorry if the images aren't the best. My phone's camera isn't the best.

Context. SOME full steps Jefferson Nickels CAN be valuable depending on many things such as age, specific date, specific mint, number minted that year, and condition. A 1968 S is not one of the difficult years to obtain and they produced over 100,000,000 of them.  While your example appears to have full steps and is generally in very nice condition it is difficult to be certain of grade and exact condition with the photos provided while still in the flip. Are these defects on the coin or on the flip? However, even if in absolutely perfect condition, it would be worth about .50c at best . Show us a 1950D  (2,600,000 produced) for instance with full steps and in perfect condition and then you will have a full step nickel worth quite a bit.

Yes, until you get in the high grades (MS64 or higher) there not mush added value for the full steps. You can see relative values here:  Jefferson Five Cents (1938-Date) | Price Guide & Values | NGC  

1968S Full Steps MS64 US $400 (5FS) $550 (6FS).  1950D is valued at somewhat less.

                   OP's example                                                                    XF40

                                MS64

I'm not saying the OP's coin is MS64 or higher and you couldn't either with the pictures supplied. I am saying that a 1968S FS can be quite valuable if certified at MS64 or higher and much more valuable than a 1950D at the same grade.

Comment sat here for 2 days and you did not address it. 10 minutes after I reply after nobody addressed it, you chime in. To imply he can obtain anything more than pocket change for this example is misleading and dead wrong.  I just used a 1950D as an example because of the relative  low mintage for context and as a learning tool. 100,000,000 vs 2,600,000 is a visual graphic and has impact. His example is not slabbed and graded as you attemted to compare it to and imply valuing it as such. No comparison.

However, even if in absolutely perfect condition, it would be worth about .50c at best .

I'm glad you now admit you advice was totally wrong. Let's see…perfect = MS70. Well the closest we can get to that with values is MS66 ($4,000 5FS) and MS67 ($6,000 6FS) from NGC and MS66 ($3,750) from Greysheet.

To answer the OP's question (albeit 2 days later)  would it potentially be worth getting it graded? my answer is yes, it would be potentially worth getting it graded.  Do you still disagree now knowing the potential value is somewhat higher then 50 cents?

No, not in that condition. Check your ego and tantrums child.

While your example appears to have full steps and is generally in very nice condition it is difficult to be certain of grade and exact condition with the photos provided while still in the flip.

You must have had some kind of divine revelation to now be able to be certain of its grade.

Check your ego and tantrums child.

Why as your last resort do you always start name calling when someone disagrees with you? 

I'm done here. The OP now has the correct information to make a decision.

Here are some better higher quality images of the coin.
