Description
Part of the Jefferson Nickels Original Design 1938-2003 series, the 1977 (D) Jefferson Nickel is a nickel from the Denver Mint. The U.S. Mint produced 297.3 million examples, making this the lower-mintage of the two mint variants. The obverse features Thomas Jefferson facing left and the reverse displays Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's Virginia estate. Standard production from Philadelphia and Denver. Denver's mint evolved from a frontier assay office into one of the nation's primary coin production facilities, opening in 1906. Estimated market value ranges from $0 to $4 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 #4099.
