Thomas Jefferson, a founding father of America and author of the Declaration of Independence was the third President of the United States. He articulated and perpetuated the American ideals of liberty and freedom of speech, press, and conscience. This unique GEM Proof coin celebrates his long-standing legacy as one of the greatest influencers and leaders of the American people. Now, JM Bullion offers you the 1961 GEM Proof Jefferson Nickel!
Coin Highlights:
Jefferson was born in Goochland County, Virginia which is now popularly referred to as Albermarle. He is the son of Peter Jefferson who died in 1757 and left Thomas with 5,000 acres of land and an abundance of plantation employees. He attended the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, from 1760 to 1762, but left without a degree. After studying law under prominent Virginia lawyer and judge George Wythe, Jefferson was admitted to the Virginia bar in 1767. In 1769 he began a six-year tenure in Virginia’s House of Burgesses. This was the foundation for his foray into the political realm where he eventually became the third President of the United States of America.
For the obverse field of the 1961 GEM Proof Jefferson Nickel, collectors and investors will find the portrait of Thomas Jefferson. This portrait depicts him in a left-facing profile portrait in his iconic apparel. His wig is slicked back in a polished manner and a high-collared shirt. The background of the portrait is black. The inscriptions on this side of the coin “In God We Trust,” “Liberty,” and “1961.”
For the reverse field of the 1961 GEM Proof Jefferson Nickel, you will find the primary dwelling place of Thomas Jefferson. It is called Monticello and is a beautiful spacious abode with exquisite detail captured by the engravers. The inscriptions found on this side of the coin include; “E Pluribus Unum,” “Monticello,” “Five Cents,” and “United States of America.”
