Key Fact
Description
A United States Jefferson nickel, minted in Philadelphia in 2004. The obverse features a profile of Thomas Jefferson, with "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "LIBERTY" encircling the bust. The reverse typically depicts Monticello, Jefferson's home, with "E PLURIBUS UNUM" and "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" also inscribed.
History
The Jefferson nickel design, by Felix Schlag, was first introduced in 1938 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the United States Mint. Thomas Jefferson, a key Founding Father and the third U.S. President, is honored on the obverse. The reverse design showcases Monticello, his iconic Virginia estate, reflecting his architectural and intellectual contributions.
Facts
The Jefferson nickel is the longest-running U.S. coin design after the Lincoln cent. Its composition has varied slightly over time, notably during WWII when it was made of a silver-copper-manganese alloy to conserve nickel. The "P" mint mark indicates it was produced at the Philadelphia Mint.
Value Fact
Commonly found in circulation, this 2004 Jefferson nickel holds minimal numismatic value in circulated condition. However, uncirculated examples or those with rare errors can command higher prices among collectors. The high mintage for this year suggests ample availability.
