Jefferson Nickel

Brief Description

The obverse features the left-facing profile of Thomas Jefferson, the 3rd U.S. President, with the inscriptions 'IN GOD WE TRUST' and 'LIBERTY 1964'.

Historical Significance

The 1964 Jefferson nickel is notable for its extremely high mintage. Due to a coin shortage during the mid-1960s, the U.S. Treasury continued striking 1964-dated nickels well into 1965 and 1966 to discourage hoarding and stabilize the currency supply.

Estimated Value

$0.05 - $0.25 (Face value to nominal collector value, unless in high-grade uncirculated condition).

Care Instructions

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning with abrasive chemicals or rubbing, as this can damage the coin's surface and decrease any potential numismatic value.
