Description
The 2006 (S) Proof Jefferson Nickel is a proof nickel struck at the San Francisco Mint, part of the Jefferson Nickels Return to Monticello 2006 to Date series. Total mintage reached 3.1 million. The obverse features Thomas Jefferson facing forward in a three-quarter view, the first forward-facing portrait on a U.S. circulating coin, while the reverse displays Monticello in a refined depiction. Designed by Jamie Franki/Felix Schlag. Struck in 75% copper, 25% nickel, weighing 5 grams, 21.2 mm in diameter, with a plain edge. Cataloged as PCGS #94246. The Return to Monticello design debuted in 2006, retaining the forward-facing Jefferson portrait introduced during the Westward Journey series. Current circulating design. Satin Finish Mint Set versions (2005-2010) and proof issues provide collecting depth.
