It’s not too late to add the 2013 complete mint mark set to your collection. Our 2013 Jefferson Nickel collector set includes an uncirculated Philadelphia & Denver Mint issue plus the proof issue from San Francisco… each coin is encapsulated and presented in a collector pouch!
The Jefferson Nickel was first issued in 1938, featuring a portrait of President Thomas Jefferson. The reverse design portrays Monticello, Jefferson's Virginia estate.
The Jefferson Nickel was produced at three US Mints: Philadelphia and Denver (Uncirculated) and San Francisco (Proof). In 1954 the San Francisco Mint halted production, resuming in 1968. The term "Proof" refers to a method of manufacture and NOT the condition of a coin. Proof coins can usually be distinguished by their sharpness of detail, high wire edge, and extremely brilliant - mirror like surface. Proof coins are made from highly polished dies. The coinage blanks are also polished and cleaned. They are hand fed into a coinage press one at a time, with each blank receiving 2 or more strikes from the dies to bring up sharp - high relief details. It is done at slow speeds with extra pressure.
Uncirculated Philadelphia and Denver issues with San Francisco Proof, all three coins are encapsulated and arrive in a collectors pouch for protection.
