Key Fact
Description
This is a 2006-S Jefferson nickel, a standard circulation coin featuring Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and his home, Monticello, on the reverse. The 'S' mint mark indicates it was struck at the San Francisco Mint. Its composition is a clad alloy of copper and nickel, standard for this denomination.
History
The Jefferson nickel design, created by Felix Schlag, was first introduced in 1938 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the presidency of Thomas Jefferson. The obverse features a profile portrait of Jefferson, while the reverse displays his iconic Virginian estate, Monticello, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Facts
The Jefferson nickel has been a staple of American coinage for decades. While common in circulated grades, collectible interest often focuses on specific mint years, especially those with lower mintages or proof strikes. The 2006-S version adds a minor variation from the Westward Journey series.
Value Fact
Circulated 2006-S Jefferson nickels are generally worth their face value as currency. However, uncirculated or proof examples, especially those graded by third-party services, can command a slight premium. Market value is typically in the range of $1 to $5 for higher-grade specimens.
