Unveiling the 1960 Jefferson Nickel

The 1960 Jefferson Nickel is a U.S. five-cent piece, part of the long-running Jefferson series.

Minted in Philadelphia (no mint mark) and Denver (D), its value varies by condition and mint.

Common in circulation, but high-grade uncirculated versions are sought by collectors.

Key factors: mint errors, Full Steps designation, and provenance can increase a nickel's value.

Circulated coins are typically worth face value to a few dollars, depending on condition.

Uncirculated coins, especially with Full Steps, can fetch from $10 to hundreds of dollars.

Rare errors, like overdates or doubled dies, significantly enhance a nickel's collectibility.

Proof coins from 1960, with mirror-like surfaces, are also desirable and more valuable.

Always consult a professional coin grader or pricing guide for the most accurate valuation.
