1952-S Jefferson Nickel BU
In 1952, the San Francisco Mint produced a classic run of the five-cent coin, featuring the iconic design created by Felix O. Schlag. This particular specimen survives in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, offering a remarkably crisp look at a mid-century American staple. The obverse is dominated by a profile portrait of Thomas Jefferson, facing left, accompanied by the familiar national mottos and the year of production. Turning the coin over reveals a detailed depiction of Monticello, Jefferson's famous Virginia estate. Below the building, the denomination is spelled out as FIVE CENTS, while the name of the nation, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, curves along the bottom rim. The traditional Latin phrase E PLURIBUS UNUM is positioned proudly at the top. Collectors of this series will spot the distinct 'S' mint mark on the reverse, indicating its origin at the San Francisco facility.
