Description

The 1954 (S) Jefferson Nickel - S/D is a nickel produced at the San Francisco Mint as part of the Jefferson Nickels Original Design 1938-2003 series. The obverse features Thomas Jefferson facing left and the reverse displays Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's Virginia estate. Last year San Francisco struck nickels for circulation; the mint would not produce business-strike nickels again until 1968. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, established during the California Gold Rush and now primarily producing proof and collector coins. Estimated market value ranges from $46 to $3.5K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 75% copper, 25% nickel, weighing 5 grams, 21.2 mm in diameter, with a plain edge. Cataloged as PCGS #4055.
