1938-S Jefferson Nickel - XF Grade / Condition - San Francisco Mint 1938 Nickel - Key Date and Mint - 1938S Nickel

This listing is for one 1938S Jefferson Nickel, as pictured. "S" Mint mark, denoting the San Francisco Mint. Key Date and Mint!

First struck in 1913, the Buffalo nickel had long been difficult to coin, and after it completed the 25-year term during which it could only be replaced by Congress, the Mint moved quickly to replace it with a new design. The Mint conducted a design competition, in early 1938, requiring that Jefferson be depicted on the obverse and Jefferson's house Monticello on the reverse. Schlag won the competition, but was required to submit an entirely new reverse and make other changes before the new piece went into production in October 1938.

Thanks for stopping by!
