1988-P Jefferson Nickel BU
The 1988 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 a design that has been a staple of American pockets for decades. On the obverse side, observers will find a detailed portrait of Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States. This side also bears the familiar national mottos of trust and liberty alongside the 1988 year of issue and the P mint mark, indicating its origin in Philadelphia. Turning the coin over reveals Monticello, Jefferson's iconic neoclassical Virginia home, carefully rendered on the reverse. The design is framed by the traditional inscriptions denoting the nation of origin, the denomination of five cents, and the Latin motto celebrating unity.
