1941-S Early Jefferson Nickel INB Slabbed Coin
1941-S Early Jefferson Nickel INB Slabbed Uncirculated Coin
This 1941-S Jefferson Nickel is an early-date specimen from the San Francisco Mint, identifiable by the S mint mark located to the right of the Monticello building on the reverse. Struck in a composition of copper and nickel, this vintage coin features the classic Felix Schlag design of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and his Virginia estate on the reverse. The coin comes preserved in an International Numismatic Bureau (INB) slab featuring a green label, which serves to protect the luster and surface details of this uncirculated piece. As a pre-war issue, this nickel is a key addition for collectors of early Jefferson series coinage, offering a clear look at the historic portrait and architectural details before the transition to wartime silver compositions in 1942.
1941-S Jefferson Nickel INB Slabbed Coin
Condition: This coin is housed in an International Numismatic Bureau (INB) slab. The coin itself appears to have been in circulation, showing significant wear on the high points of Thomas Jefferson's portrait and the steps of Monticello. The surfaces exhibit numerous small scratches and a dull grey patina consistent with handling. The mint mark 'S' is visible to the right of Monticello on the reverse, indicating it was struck at the San Francisco Mint. The INB label identifies it as an 'Early Jefferson Nickel' but does not provide a specific numerical grade. The metal content consists of 75% copper and 25% nickel. This 1941-S issue is a business strike produced during the final year of the original pre-war composition before the transition to silver 'war nickels' in late 1942. It represents a piece of American numismatic history from the onset of the United States' involvement in World War II.
