Jefferson Nickel dated 1934

The Jefferson Nickel was introduced by the United States Mint in 1938, replacing the Buffalo Nickel. Designed by Felix Schlag, it features President Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and his home Monticello on the reverse. The coin was struck in 75% copper and 25% nickel composition (except during World War II when silver was used). Jefferson Nickels remain popular among numismatists and casual collectors for their historical significance and accessibility. These coins represent an important era in American coinage and are widely collected across all dates and mint marks. Collectors appreciate Jefferson Nickels for their affordability, historical connection to one of America's Founding Fathers, and the challenge of assembling complete date and mint mark sets. The series appeals to both beginning collectors seeking an entry point into numismatics and advanced collectors pursuing high-grade specimens or rare varieties.
