INB Graded Early Jefferson Nickel 1938-1976
Early Jefferson Nickel 1938-1976 INB Graded Slabbed Coin
This listing features a Jefferson Nickel from the early era of the series, spanning the years 1938 to 1976. The coin is composed of a copper and nickel alloy and is housed in a protective grading slab from the International Numismatic Bureau (INB). The slab features a distinctive green and white label with a unique serial number and barcode for identification. This early Jefferson Nickel represents a classic piece of American coinage history, showcasing Felix Schlag's iconic portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and his home, Monticello, on the reverse. The item is securely sealed in a professional holder to preserve its condition and provide a clear display of both the obverse and reverse sides.
INB Graded Early Jefferson Nickel 1938-1976
Condition: The coin is encapsulated in an International Numismatic Bureau (INB) holder. It appears to be a circulated business strike with visible wear on the high points of Thomas Jefferson's portrait and the Monticello reverse. The surfaces show typical bag marks and abrasions consistent with a coin that has spent time in commerce. The grading label identifies it broadly as an "Early Jefferson Nickel" within the 1938-1976 date range, but does not provide a specific numerical grade. This coin is composed of a copper-nickel alloy (75% copper and 25% nickel). The Jefferson Nickel was introduced in 1938 to replace the Buffalo Nickel and features Felix Schlag's winning design of the third U.S. President on the obverse and his Virginia estate on the reverse. The specific mint mark and year are obscured by the lighting and holder in the provided image, though it represents a standard circulation strike from the mid-20th century.
