1939-D Jefferson Nickel MS-66 NGC (Reverse of 38)
In 1939, the Denver Mint produced a run of Jefferson Nickels that carries a fascinating detail for keen observers. This particular coin, certified in Mint State 66 (MS-66) condition, features the original reverse design style first introduced in 1938. Out of a total mintage of 3,514,000, this piece stands out for its exceptional preservation, showcasing the early years of this classic American series. The obverse displays the familiar profile of Thomas Jefferson, surrounded by the inscriptions "LIBERTY" and "IN GOD WE TRUST", alongside the 1939 date. On the reverse, the historic Monticello estate is depicted, flanked by the traditional mottos "E PLURIBUS UNUM" and "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", with the denomination "FIVE CENTS" clearly visible. The Denver "D" mint mark is located on the right side of the reverse, next to Monticello, identifying its origin at the Colorado facility.
