Item Description
The Jefferson nickel has been the five-cent coin struck by the US Mint since 1938, when it replaced the Buffalo nickel (see item #757). Designed by Felix Schlag, it features a portrait of US President Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and his home Monticello on the reverse. As nickel was a strategic war material during World War II, nickels coined from 1942 to 1945 were struck in a copper-silver-manganese alloy which would not require adjustment to vending machines. They bear a large mint mark above the depiction of Monticello on the reverse, this example being marked "P" for the Philadelphia Mint. From the Robert M. Overstreet Collection and comes with COA.
