1938-D Early Jefferson Nickel INB Slabbed Uncirculated Business Strike
Condition: This 1938-D Jefferson Nickel is housed in an International Numismatic Bureau (INB) slab. The coin displays a business strike finish with visible details in Jefferson's hair and on the building of Monticello. The surfaces show typical luster for an early circulation-strike issue. This coin represents the first year of the Jefferson Nickel series, which replaced the Buffalo Nickel in 1938. It was struck at the Denver Mint, as indicated by the D mint mark located on the reverse to the right of Monticello. The metal content consists of 75% copper and 25% nickel. As a first-year issue from a branch mint, the 1938-D is a significant piece of American numismatic history, marking the transition to the Felix Schlag design that would remain on the five-cent piece for decades. The strike type is a standard business strike intended for commerce. The item is graded by INB, though a specific numerical grade is not listed on the holder.
