1995-P (Philadelphia) Jefferson Nickels

Coin / United States of America / 5¢ (Five Cents, Nickel, Half Dime) / Jefferson Nickels / 1995 / Philadelphia

The coin in question is a 1995 Jefferson Nickel, minted in Philadelphia and designated with the mint mark 'P'. This particular nickel is part of the Jefferson Nickels series, which has been a staple of American currency since its introduction in 1938. Weighing 5 grams and made from a copper-nickel composition, the coin has a diameter of 21.2 millimeters. Its denomination is clearly stated as 5¢ (five cents), reflecting its value. With a substantial mintage of 774,156,000 pieces produced that year, this nickel is relatively common in circulation. The obverse side of the coin features a portrait of Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States, while the reverse showcases his iconic home, Monticello. The Jefferson Nickel is not only a means of everyday transactions but also a piece of American numismatic heritage. Given its production type as a mint strike, this coin is expected to have a clean and well-defined design, characteristic of coins produced directly from newly-engraved dies. As a Philadelphia mint coin, it represents a significant era in U.S. coinage, and although there are many examples in circulation, well-preserved specimens can still hold value for collectors. In summary, the 1995 Jefferson Nickel is a notable representation of American numismatics, characterized by its commonality, classic design, and historical significance.
