Description

The 2009 (P) Satin Finish Jefferson Nickel is a special strike nickel struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Jefferson Nickels Return to Monticello 2006 to Date series. The U.S. Mint produced 784,614 examples, making this the lowest mintage among 5 mint variants, representing only less than 1% of total production. The obverse features Thomas Jefferson facing forward in a three-quarter view, the first forward-facing portrait on a U.S. circulating coin and the reverse displays Monticello in a refined depiction. A modern issue from an era of rotating coin designs, collector-focused programs, and renewed interest in numismatic artistry. Struck at the original U.S. Mint facility, in continuous operation since 1792. Auction record: $176 Sets 02-01-2012 Goldberg Auctioneers. Struck in 75% copper, 25% nickel, weighing 5 grams, 21.2 mm in diameter, with a plain edge. Cataloged as PCGS #407254.
