The first Jefferson nickels were struck in 1938 and sent into circulation in succession to the so-called Buffalo Nickel of the previous quarter-century. Designed by German-born sculptor Felix Schlag in response to a contest staged by the U.S. Mint, it was designed to serve a mission similar to its predecessor: to create a coin with such distinctively American subjects on both its obverse and reverse-side designs that it couldn’t be mistaken for a coin from any other country. The new nickel fulfilled that mission by focusing on the Founding Father and third President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, and his famous home at Monticello. Uncirculated grade specimens of this coin from certain years are popular collectors’ items, such as the 1964 Gem Proof Jefferson Nickel on offer from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The design of the Jefferson nickel, which remains the official American nickel to this day, has evolved over the years, but the basic features of the coin have endured since its original striking. One of the key dates for collectors is the 1964 coin, which has one of the larger survival estimates of coins with Mint State grades of 65 or higher, marking them as “Gem Uncirculated” pieces, pleasing to the eye and with only light and scattered contact marks.
The 1964 Gem Proof Jefferson Nickel shows the brilliant backgrounds associated with proof-quality collectibles and displays above-average luster. It comes in a protective plastic slab with a label to indicate its certified grade, and ships fully insured by JM Bullion against any chance of loss or damage en route.
The obverse side features a profile effigy of Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States. His image is accompanied by the inscriptions “IN GOD WE TRUST” and “LIBERTY – 1964.”
The legendary manor of Monticello, Jefferson’s long-time home and a renowned marvel of architecture, is featured on the coin’s reverse side. It’s accompanied by the inscriptions “E PLURIBUS UNUM” and “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “MONTICELLO” and “FIVE CENTS.”
