The coin in question is a 1967 Jefferson Nickel, minted at the Philadelphia Mint. It is composed of a blend of 75% copper and 25% nickel, resulting in a weight of 5.0 grams and a diameter of 21.2 millimeters. The coin features a plain edge and is part of the special production type, with a total mintage of 1,860,000 pieces. Designed by Felix Schlag, the Jefferson Nickel has become a staple of American coinage. The 1967 version holds historical significance and is valued particularly by collectors due to its limited mintage. Notably, this coin does not bear a mint mark, indicating its production in Philadelphia rather than in Denver or San Francisco. This nickel represents a denomination of 5 cents in United States currency, with a value of $0.05. As part of the Jefferson Nickels series, it showcases the iconic profile of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse, illustrating both American heritage and craftsmanship in coin design. Collectors often seek out examples in varying grades, as the condition of the coin can significantly affect its market value.
