Description
The 1958 Jefferson Nickel is a nickel produced at the Philadelphia Mint as part of the Jefferson Nickels Original Design 1938-2003 series. With a mintage of 17.1 million, this is a less common issue — the scarcer of two mint variants, with 9% of total production. The obverse features Thomas Jefferson facing left and the reverse displays Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's Virginia estate. Both mints active with moderate mintages. The series continued without major changes. Struck at the original U.S. Mint facility, in continuous operation since 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $0 to $30 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 #4063.
