1948 Jefferson Nickel INB Slabbed Uncirculated Coin
This vintage 1948 Jefferson Nickel is professionally housed in an International Numismatic Bureau (INB) slab, featuring a distinctive light green label.

The obverse showcases the sharp profile of Thomas Jefferson, while the reverse features the iconic Monticello estate. As an uncirculated coin protected by a sonically sealed holder, it retains its original luster and preservation, making it an excellent addition for collectors of early nickel series or those seeking slabbed mid-century coinage.
1948 Early Jefferson Nickel INB Slabbed Rare Vintage United States Coin
Condition: This 1948 Jefferson Nickel is presented in a professional slab by the International Numismatic Bureau (INB). The coin exhibits a circulated finish with visible wear on the high points of Thomas Jefferson's portrait and the Monticello estate on the reverse. It possesses a business strike type and is composed of a copper-nickel alloy, which was the standard metal content for the era following the transition back from wartime silver compositions. Historically, this coin represents the post-World War II period of American coinage, featuring the classic Felix Schlag design that remained the staple of the five-cent piece for decades. The slab serves to protect the coin's current state and provides a serial number for inventory tracking.
