1987-P Jefferson Nickel BU
The 1987 Jefferson nickel, struck at the Philadelphia Mint, represents a classic era of modern United States coinage. This five-cent piece is preserved in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, allowing observers to appreciate the crisp details of its design just as it looked when it first left the coining press. On the obverse, the coin displays a profile portrait of Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States. Accompanying this portrait are the familiar national mottos and inscriptions, including "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "LIBERTY", alongside the 1987 year of issue and the "P" mint mark, which denotes its origin in Philadelphia. Turning the coin over reveals a detailed depiction of Monticello, Jefferson's famous Virginia estate. The reverse design carefully captures the neoclassical architecture of the historic home, anchored by the inscriptions "MONTICELLO", "FIVE CENTS", and "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", with the traditional motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM" positioned above.
