Value: As a rough estimate of this coins value you can assume this coin in poor condition will be valued at somewhere around 35 cents, while one in "perfect" condition can bring $1. This price does not reference any standard coin grading scale. So when we say poor, we mean worn more than would be expected from a coin in this age, and perfect meaning it looks "perfect" without flaw and possibly even certified
The Jefferson Nickel has been produced each year from 1938 to present. Coins were struck for circulation at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints and mintages have varied widely. In total, more than 50 billion Jefferson Nickels have been produced.
The lowest mintage circulating coin is the 1950-D Jefferson Nickel, which is generally considered to be the key date issue at only 2,630,030 pieces. The recently issued 2009 Jefferson Nickels have also generated attention since the mintage levels represent an incredible drop from contemporary levels, which are typically in the hundreds of millions.
The highest mintage for the series, at more than 1.7 billion coins, occurred with the 1964-D nickel.
Since the Jefferson Nickel used the same design for almost seven decades, and with the exception of silver war nickels contain no silver content, older date coins show up periodically in circulation. Beginning collectors will often focus on searching bank rolls as an affordable and fun way to start assembling a collection of older coins.
Although no significant rarities exist for the series on the basis of mintage.
They make great gifts for kids or great for the beginner collector.
Happy Bidding!!!
Never clean your coins leave them exactly as they are. Any attempt at improving their appearance lowers value. Collectors seek only original condition coins and avoid examples that have been cleaned.
