1969-S Jefferson Nickel – Proof Issue
This 1969-S Jefferson Nickel is a stunning Proof coin struck at the San Francisco Mint. Proof coins like this were produced with a special minting process, featuring polished planchets and dies to create sharp details and a highly reflective, mirror-like surface. The obverse displays the profile of Thomas Jefferson, with the inscriptions “IN GOD WE TRUST,” “LIBERTY,” and the year “1969.” The reverse features Monticello, Jefferson’s iconic Virginia estate, encircled by the inscriptions “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” and the denomination “FIVE CENTS.”
Condition:
This coin is in pristine Proof condition, showcasing sharp details and a deeply mirrored finish. There are no visible imperfections, making it a superior example of its type. The reflective surfaces and frosted details highlight its exceptional quality.
Provenance/History:
The 1969-S Jefferson Nickel was part of the Proof Set produced by the San Francisco Mint for collectors. Proof coins like this were not intended for circulation but instead minted to the highest standards for numismatic enthusiasts. This issue continues the long-standing Jefferson Nickel series, first introduced in 1938.
