1948 Jefferson Nickel INB Slabbed Uncirculated
1948 Jefferson Nickel INB Slabbed Uncirculated
This 1948 Jefferson Nickel is featured in an uncirculated condition, preserved within an International Numismatic Bureau (INB) slab. Composed of copper and nickel, this early-date specimen showcases sharp details of Felix Schlag’s classic design, featuring Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and his Monticello estate on the reverse. The INB holder provides a professional presentation and protects the original luster of the coin, making it a reliable addition for collectors focusing on early Jefferson series sets. This slabbed uncirculated nickel serves as a historical mid-century artifact, maintaining the quality and strike expected of a non-circulated business strike from the post-war era.
1948 Jefferson Nickel INB Slabbed Uncirculated
Condition: This 1948 Jefferson Nickel is presented in an Uncirculated state, housed within an International Numismatic Bureau (INB) slab. The coin exhibits a strong luster typical of uncirculated business strikes from this era, with well-defined details on Thomas Jefferson's portrait and the Monticello estate on the reverse. As an INB slabbed item, it is protected from environmental wear, though specific numerical grading is not provided on the label. The metal content consists of a copper-nickel alloy, specifically 75% copper and 25% nickel. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin represents the post-World War II period of American coinage, during which the composition had returned to the standard nickel alloy following the wartime silver alloy years. This is a standard business strike type, intended for general circulation but preserved in high-grade condition for collectors.
