This is a 1958 Jefferson Nickel, a five-cent coin minted in the United States of America at the Denver Mint. As part of the Jefferson Nickels series, it features the iconic profile of President Thomas Jefferson on the obverse, while the reverse showcases Monticello, Jefferson's historical home. The coin is composed of a copper-nickel alloy and has a diameter of 21.2 mm, weighing 5 grams. In 1958, a total of 168,249,120 of these nickels were produced, making it a relatively common issue in numismatic terms. In terms of condition classification, the grade of the coin can significantly influence its value; uncirculated examples in mint condition may carry a premium over face value, while those that show signs of wear may be valued at or near face value. The Denver mint mark, represented by the letter "D" on the obverse, indicates that this particular nickel was struck in Denver, Colorado. The 1958 Jefferson Nickel embodies the blend of historical significance and everyday utility of American currency, making it a staple in both circulation and collections.
