The coin described is a 1984 San Francisco Mint Jefferson Nickel, made of copper-nickel, with a denomination of 5 cents. It belongs to the United States coinage series and is categorized as a "Proof" coin, which indicates that it was produced under special conditions, resulting in a higher quality strike and a finer finish than typical circulating coins. This particular nickel features the iconic design of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse (front) side, along with the inscription of his name and the year of minting. The reverse side of the coin showcases Jefferson's home, Monticello, along with the denomination and the phrase "E Pluribus Unum." With a production mintage of just 3,065,110 coins, this 1984 Jefferson Nickel is a collectible item for numismatists, particularly those focused on proof coinage from the San Francisco Mint. Its diameter measures 21.2 mm, and it weighs 5 grams. As a modern coin produced for collectors, it may hold additional value beyond its face value of 5 cents, particularly in pristine condition. The coin's combination of historical significance, distinctive mint mark 'S' for San Francisco, and its status as a proof issue makes it an interesting addition to any coin collection, especially for those interested in modern U.S. coinage.
