1940 Jefferson Nickel INB Graded Slabbed Coin
Condition: This 1940 Jefferson Nickel is presented in a professional slab by the International Numismatic Bureau (INB). The coin exhibits a circulated appearance with visible wear on the high points of Thomas Jefferson's portrait and the Monticello building on the reverse. The fields show typical contact marks and a consistent gray patina. It was struck at the Philadelphia Mint, as indicated by the absence of a mint mark on the reverse. The metal content is a copper-nickel alloy consisting of 75% copper and 25% nickel. Historically, this coin belongs to the early years of the Jefferson Nickel series, which replaced the Buffalo Nickel in 1938 and features Felix Schlag's classic design. The strike type is a standard business strike intended for circulation. The slab identifies it as an Early Jefferson Nickel (1938-1976) but does not provide a specific numerical grade on the label.
