The 1958 Jefferson Nickel is a piece of U.S. currency, minted during a time of economic prosperity.
Composed of 75% copper and 25% nickel, this coin features Thomas Jefferson on the obverse.
The reverse showcases Monticello, Jefferson's famed estate, symbolizing American heritage.
Two mint locations, Philadelphia (no mint mark) and Denver (D), produced these nickels.
Uncirculated coins or those with Full Steps details command higher values among collectors.
The 1958-D nickel is more common, with over 168 million minted compared to Philadelphia's 17 million.
Condition is key; prices range from a few cents to over $1,500 for pristine examples.
Special finds include overpolished dies and repunched mint marks, adding to a coin's rarity.
Always consult a reputable coin guide or professional for accurate grading and valuation.
Collecting 1958 Jefferson Nickels can be a rewarding hobby, merging history with numismatics.
