The 1959 Jefferson Nickel is a U.S. five-cent coin, part of the long-running Jefferson series.
Minted in Philadelphia (no mint mark) and Denver (D), its value can vary based on several factors.
Most 1959 nickels are common, but coins with errors or in mint condition can be worth more.
Key factors: mint mark, condition, and rarity. 'Full Steps' on Monticello can increase value.
Uncirculated coins or those with a 'D' mint mark can fetch higher prices among collectors.
Error coins, like double die or off-center strikes, are particularly valuable to numismatists.
Proof coins, specially made for collectors, can also command a premium due to their finish.
Check for rare overdates or repunched mint marks, which can significantly increase a coin's value.
Consult a coin expert or use a grading service to accurately assess your 1959 nickel's worth.
