Early Jefferson Nickel 1938-1976 INB Slabbed
Early Jefferson Nickel 1938-1976 INB Slabbed
This collectible Early Jefferson Nickel is housed in a professional slab from the International Numismatic Bureau (INB), featuring a distinct green label. Struck in a copper-nickel composition, the coin features the classic profile of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and his historic Monticello estate on the reverse. This particular specimen is part of the early series of the Jefferson design, which replaced the Buffalo nickel in 1938. The coin is protected in a tamper-evident holder that preserves its condition and serves as a significant addition for collectors focusing on 20th-century American coinage. The slabbed presentation makes it an ideal choice for both display and long-term storage within a numismatic collection.
Early Jefferson Nickel 1938-1976 INB Slabbed United States 5 Cents
Condition: This item is a circulated Early Jefferson Nickel housed in a slab by the International Numismatic Bureau (INB). The coin displays visible wear on the high points of Thomas Jefferson's portrait and the Monticello reverse, consistent with a business strike that has entered circulation. The slab identifies the era as 1938-1976, though a specific date and mint mark are not clearly visible in the provided image. The metal content for this series typically consists of a copper-nickel alloy (75% copper, 25% nickel), with the exception of silver war nickels produced from 1942-1945; however, silver cannot be confirmed for this specific specimen without a visible date and mint mark. Historically, the Jefferson Nickel replaced the Buffalo Nickel in 1938 and remains a staple of American coinage. The strike type is a standard business strike. No numeric grade is assigned by the INB label.
