1989-P Jefferson Nickel BU
The 1989 Jefferson nickel, minted in Philadelphia, represents a classic era of modern American coinage. Struck with a Brilliant Uncirculated finish, this five-cent piece showcases the enduring artistry of Felix O. Schlag, whose work has defined the visual identity of this denomination for generations. On the obverse, a profile portrait of Thomas Jefferson faces left. This side of the coin bears the prominent national motto, "IN GOD WE TRUST," alongside the word "LIBERTY" and the 1989 production year. The small "P" mint mark is also visible, indicating its origin at the Philadelphia Mint. The reverse of the coin features a detailed depiction of Monticello, Jefferson's famous Virginia estate. This architectural vignette is accompanied by the traditional Latin phrase "E PLURIBUS UNUM" positioned above the dome, while the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and the face value of "FIVE CENTS" frame the historic home below.
