Description
The 1955 (D) Jefferson Nickel, struck at the Denver Mint, is part of the Jefferson Nickels Original Design 1938-2003 collection. The Denver Mint struck 74,464,100 nickels dated 1955. 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. The Denver Mint, which grew from an 1860s gold rush assay office, has served as a major production facility since 1906. Estimated market value ranges from $0.05 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.
