1940 Jefferson Nickel INB Slabbed Uncirculated
Condition: This 1940 Jefferson Nickel is presented in an Uncirculated state, housed within an International Numismatic Bureau (INB) protective slab. The coin exhibits the characteristic luster of a non-circulated strike with no apparent wear on the high points of Thomas Jefferson’s portrait or the Monticello estate on the reverse. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin is composed of a copper-nickel alloy, specifically 75% copper and 25% nickel. As a business strike, it represents the early years of the Jefferson Nickel series, which replaced the Buffalo Nickel in 1938. The 1940 issue is a classic example of Felix Schlag’s original design before the mid-century composition changes necessitated by wartime efforts. While the INB holder designates the item as uncirculated, a specific numeric grade is not provided on the label.
