1955 Jefferson Nickel PF-68 NGC
During the mid-century era, the United States Mint produced a limited run of proof coinage, including the 1955 Jefferson Nickel. With a total mintage of only 378,200 pieces, these coins were struck using polished dies and planchets to achieve a sharp, reflective finish. This particular specimen has survived in extraordinary condition, earning a high grade of PF-68 (Proof 68) from a major third-party grading service. The obverse of the five-cent piece features a profile portrait of Thomas Jefferson, designed by Felix O. Schlag. On the reverse, the design showcases Monticello, the historic Virginia home of the third American president. Struck in a copper-nickel alloy, this coin represents a beautifully preserved example of mid-twentieth-century American numismatic craftsmanship.
