About this Product

Full Product Name

2013 Collector Set
It’s not too late to add the 2013 complete mint mark set to your collection. Our 2013 Jefferson Nickel collector set includes an uncirculated Philadelphia & Denver Mint issue plus the proof issue from San Francisco… each coin is encapsulated and presented in a collector pouch!

The Jefferson Nickel was first issued in 1938, featuring a portrait of President Thomas Jefferson. The reverse design portrays Monticello, Jefferson's Virginia estate.

The Jefferson Nickel was produced at three US Mints: Philadelphia and Denver (Uncirculated) and San Francisco (Proof). In 1954 the San Francisco Mint halted production, resuming in 1968. The term "Proof" refers to a method of manufacture and NOT the condition of a coin. Proof coins can usually be distinguished by their sharpness of detail, high wire edge, and extremely brilliant - mirror like surface. Proof coins are made from highly polished dies. The coinage blanks are also polished and cleaned. They are hand fed into a coinage press one at a time, with each blank receiving 2 or more strikes from the dies to bring up sharp - high relief details. It is done at slow speeds with extra pressure.

Uncirculated Philadelphia and Denver issues with San Francisco Proof, all three coins are encapsulated and arrive in a collectors pouch for protection.
