This Jefferson Nickel is from 1993 struck at San Francisco Mint, United States. The Jefferson nickel has been the five-cent coin struck by the United States Mint since 1938, when it replaced the Buffalo nickel. From 1938 until 2004, the copper-nickel coin's obverse featured 1st portrait of third U.S. President Thomas Jefferson by artist Felix Schlag.

Expert Comments

Jaime Hernandez

The 1993-S Proof Jefferson Nickel is considered a common issue for the series. Most examples are very well struck and range from about PR67 to PR70 Deep Cameo condition. They are very affordable in all grades, so finding really nice examples should be very easy.
