Key Facts & Value

Key Fact

Historical significanceThe Jefferson Nickel was first issued in 1938, celebrating the legacy of Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States. His contributions to American history, particularly in the founding of the nation and the Declaration of Independence, are immortalized in this coin.

Design and ArtistDesigned by Felix Schlag, the coin features a left-facing portrait of Jefferson on the obverse and a depiction of his home, Monticello, on the reverse. Schlag won a competition to design the coin, which was intended to honor Jefferson's architectural contributions.

Historical ContextThe coin was minted during a time of significant change in the United States, including post-World War II economic expansion. It also reflects the mid-century design aesthetics that favored simplicity and historical homage.

Value Fact

The value of a 1964 Jefferson Nickel in uncirculated condition can vary widely based on its condition, rarity, and market demand. Coins that are well-preserved with sharp details and minimal wear are sought after by collectors, significantly increasing their value. Additionally, any unique minting errors or variations can further enhance their desirability.

Coins with historical significance and unique design elements often fetch higher prices at auctions due to their appeal to both numismatists and history enthusiasts.
