Description
The 2005 (P) Jefferson Nickel - Bison, struck at the Philadelphia Mint, is part of the Jefferson Nickels Westward Journey 2004-2005 collection. The U.S. Mint produced 448.3 million examples, making this ranked 3rd of 5 mint variants by mintage, with 20% of production. The obverse features two different obverse portraits: a modified Schlag portrait (2004) and a new forward-facing portrait by Joe Fitzgerald (2005) and the reverse displays four commemorative designs: the Peace Medal (2004), Keelboat (2004), American Bison (2005), and Ocean in View (2005). A modern issue from an era of rotating coin designs, collector-focused programs, and renewed interest in numismatic artistry. Philadelphia's mint — the nation's first — has produced coins without interruption since its founding in 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $0 to $1 depending on grade and condition. Struck in 75% copper, 25% nickel, weighing 5 grams, 21.2 mm in diameter, with a plain edge. Cataloged as PCGS #4158.
