Description
The 2010 (P) Jefferson Nickel represents a Philadelphia Mint issue from the Jefferson Nickels Return to Monticello 2006 to Date series. The U.S. Mint produced 260.6 million examples, making this the higher-mintage of the two mint variants, representing 53% of production. The obverse features Thomas Jefferson facing forward in a three-quarter view, the first forward-facing portrait on a U.S. circulating coin and the reverse displays Monticello in a refined depiction. A modern issue from an era of rotating coin designs, collector-focused programs, and renewed interest in numismatic artistry. Coined at the Philadelphia facility, the nation's original mint that has operated continuously since its 1792 founding. 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 #418782.
