1985-S Jefferson Nickel Gem Proof
The 1985-S Jefferson Nickel stands as a brilliant example of modern United States coinage, struck with a proof finish at the San Francisco Mint. This five-cent piece showcases a level of detail and polish that highlights the artistry of its mid-twentieth-century design, originally created by Felix O. Schlag. On the obverse, a sharp profile portrait of Thomas Jefferson faces left, accompanied by the traditional inscriptions of LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST, alongside the 1985 year and the S mint mark. The reverse displays a detailed depiction of Monticello, Jefferson's historic Virginia estate. The building is framed by the national motto E PLURIBUS UNUM above and the denomination FIVE CENTS, with the country of origin, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, curving along the bottom border.
