1942-D Jefferson Nickel MS-67 NGC
The year 1942 marked a pivotal period of transition for United States coinage, making this Denver-minted Jefferson Nickel a compelling piece of numismatic history. Struck with a mintage of 13,938,000, this five-cent piece represents the classic pre-war composition before emergency alloy changes were implemented later that year. This specific coin has achieved an exceptional grade of Mint State 67 (MS-67), indicating an extraordinary level of preservation with minimal surface marks and outstanding original luster. The obverse features the familiar profile of Thomas Jefferson accompanied by the national motto, while the reverse showcases his historic Virginia estate, Monticello, alongside the traditional inscriptions denoting the country of origin and the five-cent denomination.
