The coin in question is a 1975 Jefferson Nickel, minted in Denver (denoted by the 'D' mint mark). It is part of the United States coinage series known as the Jefferson Nickels, which honors the third President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson. This five-cent coin has a diameter of approximately 21.2 mm and a standard weight of 5 grams. It is composed of a copper-nickel alloy, giving it a distinctive appearance typical of modern U.S. nickels. The mintage for this particular coin was quite high, with a total of 401,875,300 pieces struck, making it relatively common in circulation. While its specific diameter and width are not specified in conventional terms (as they both read zero here), the nickel's shape is expectedly standard for this denomination. Given its mintage and year, the 1975 Denver Mint Jefferson Nickel is typically found in circulated condition, but uncirculated examples may be valued slightly higher among collectors. This nickel is classified as a mint strike, which means it was produced during regular production runs for circulation rather than for special collections or proofs. As a typical representative of the Jefferson Nickel series, it showcases the enduring value and tradition of American coinage.
