United States Black Ruthenium Clad Jefferson Nickel Collectible Coin
Condition: The item is housed in a protective clear round capsule and appears in uncirculated condition with a specialized aftermarket finish. It is a Jefferson Nickel featuring a custom cladding of black ruthenium, a rare transition metal from the platinum group, applied over the original surfaces. The coin is a standard business strike United States five-cent piece composed of a copper and nickel alloy before the application of the ruthenium plating. Historically, the Jefferson Nickel has been the standard five-cent denomination of the United States since 1938, featuring the profile of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and his Monticello estate on the reverse. This specific piece is a modified collectible meant for display and is accompanied by a decorative certificate of identity. The mint mark is not clearly visible due to the dark coating, and the item is ungraded.
