1986-P Jefferson Nickel BU
The 1986 Jefferson nickel, struck at the Philadelphia Mint, represents a classic era of modern United States coinage. This five-cent piece, preserved in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, showcases the crisp details of a design that became a staple of American daily life. On the obverse, a profile portrait of Thomas Jefferson faces left. This side of the coin bears the familiar national motto of trust and the word representing liberty, alongside the 1986 year of production. The Philadelphia origin is marked by the distinct P mint mark. The reverse of the coin displays a detailed depiction of Monticello, the famous Virginia estate of Thomas Jefferson. Designed by Felix O. Schlag, this combination of presidential portraiture and neoclassical architecture offers a window into early American design sensibilities, preserved beautifully on this uncirculated specimen.
