This coin is a 1976 Jefferson Nickel, produced in the United States of America. The denomination is 5 cents (5¢), and it was designed by Felix Schlag. This particular piece is notable for being a proof coin, which is a type of coin produced using specialized techniques that results in a mirror-like finish and sharp details. The nickel has a diameter of 21.2 mm and weighs 5 grams, composed of a metal alloy containing 75% copper and 25% nickel. While it features a plain edge, it does not have a mint mark, indicating that it was likely produced at the Philadelphia Mint, where many proof coins are minted without a mark. In terms of its mintage, this coin has a production total of 4,149,730 pieces, adding to its collectibility. As a proof coin from 1976, it showcases the quality craftsmanship characteristic of proof issues and is an excellent addition to any coin collection. Its current market value can vary based on its condition, but proof coins generally hold a greater value than their circulating counterparts due to their limited mintage and special production process.
