The Jefferson Nickel was introduced by the United States Mint in 1938, replacing the beloved Buffalo Nickel design after a nationwide competition to create new coinage. Sculptor Felix Schlag won the design contest from among more than 390 submissions, earning a $1,000 prize for his depiction of President Thomas Jefferson and his Virginia home. This 1952 Jefferson Nickel features an impressive MS67 grade with iridescent toning in amber, violet, green, and teal colors. Today, the 1952 Jefferson Nickel with the original Type I design is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The 1952 Jefferson Nickel was produced at all three operating mints—Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco—during the post-World War II era when American coinage production had returned to normal peacetime levels. This date represents a typical mid-century issue with substantial mintages across all facilities, making it readily available to collectors today. The 1952-S from San Francisco marked one of that mint’s final years of nickel production before it temporarily ceased striking five-cent pieces.
This 1952 Jefferson Nickel is available in Mint State 67 condition. Coins with this grade have three or four minuscule contact marks and one more noticeable mark. Hairlines may be present, but are not visible to the naked eye. The reverse of this coin features various hues of green, violet, blue, and pink across its satin-like fields, while a smooth, vivid patina enhances the overall eye appeal of the piece.
The obverse of the original 1952 Jefferson Nickel presents a left-facing portrait of Thomas Jefferson, the nation’s third president and principal author of the Declaration of Independence. Schlag’s rendering captured Jefferson’s dignified profile with classical simplicity, though the Mint made modifications to his original design. The inscriptions “IN GOD WE TRUST,” “LIBERTY,” and the date complete the obverse composition.
The reverse of the original Jefferson Nickel features a frontal view of Monticello, Jefferson’s architectural masterpiece and beloved Virginia estate. The design showcases the building’s distinctive dome and neoclassical columns with remarkable detail for such a small coin. The inscriptions “MONTICELLO,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “FIVE CENTS,” and “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” frame the architectural rendering.
