Description
The 1955 (D) Jefferson Nickel is a nickel produced at the Denver Mint as part of the Jefferson Nickels Original Design 1938-2003 series. The U.S. Mint produced 74.5 million examples, making this the higher-mintage of the two mint variants, representing 90% of production. The obverse features Thomas Jefferson facing left and the reverse displays Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's Virginia estate. The 1955-D/S RPM variety (D over S mintmark) is a popular collector item. San Francisco did not produce nickels for circulation. Struck at the Denver Mint, established in 1906 from an earlier assay office that processed Colorado gold rush metal. Estimated market value ranges from $0 to $249 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 #4057.
