Early Jefferson Nickel Copper-Nickel INB Holder
Condition: This early Jefferson Nickel is housed in an International Numismatic Bureau (INB) slab. The coin displays a circulated finish with visible wear on the high points of Thomas Jefferson's portrait and the reverse building details. The metal surface appears to be a standard copper-nickel composition. The strike type is business strike, and while the slab provides a general date range of 1938-1976, it does not assign a specific numeric grade or identify a specific mint mark.
Historical Context: The Jefferson Nickel was first introduced in 1938, replacing the Buffalo Nickel. Designed by Felix Schlag, it features the profile of the third U.S. President on the obverse and his Virginia estate, Monticello, on the reverse. This series is a cornerstone of American numismatics, representing the mid-20th century era of United States coinage.
