Early Jefferson Nickel 1938-1976 INB Slabbed
Early Jefferson Nickel 1938-1976 INB Slabbed
This listing features an early Jefferson Nickel struck in a copper-nickel composition, spanning the historic mintage years of 1938 to 1976. The coin is professionally housed in a protective holder from the International Numismatic Bureau (INB), featuring their signature green label which provides a clear display of the coin's profile and reverse. This slabbed specimen preserves the classic Felix Schlag design of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and his Monticello estate on the reverse. Collectors of early American twentieth-century coinage will appreciate this slabbed example, which offers both a historical connection to the early years of the Jefferson series and the added security of a sealed numismatic holder.
Early Jefferson Nickel 1938-1976 INB Slabbed Rare Collectible Coin
Condition: The coin is housed in an International Numismatic Bureau (INB) slab. It displays visible wear and a darkened patina consistent with a circulated business strike. The obverse features the profile of Thomas Jefferson, and the reverse depicts his estate, Monticello. Specific details on the date and mint mark are obscured by the image quality and surface toning, but it is identified by the label as part of the early series.
The mint is not clearly visible on the coin's surface, though it would have been produced at Philadelphia, Denver, or San Francisco. The metal content for this series is typically composed of 75% copper and 25% nickel (excluding the silver war years which cannot be confirmed here). Historically, the Jefferson Nickel was introduced in 1938 to replace the Buffalo Nickel and remains a staple of American currency. This is a business strike type, and while slabbed by INB, a specific numeric grade is not provided on the label.
