The 1955-P Jefferson Nickel is one of the lower mintage coins in the series. It has a mintage of just over 8 million. Compare this to the mintage of the 1957-D, just a couple years later which has a mintage of over 136 million. Therefore, the 1955-P Nickel is a little tougher date.

Most 1955-P Jefferson Nickels were struck in poor quality. Uncirculated examples are scarce in MS66 condition, with probably no more than a couple hundred or less and that number might actually be less where there may even be less than 100 known.

Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.
