1938-D Jefferson Nickel MS Values
Details
Mint State coins are usually sharply detailed with 5 Full Steps a possibility, although not sharply delineated due to the nature of the hub. Most have excellent eye appeal.
Obverse: Felix Schlag's portrait of Jefferson, facing left, with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST on the left periphery, and LIBERTY * [year] on the right side.
Reverse: The Jefferson home is prominently centered with the name MONTICELLO captioned below. The denomination FIVE CENTS is spelled out in half circle underneath and the words E PLURIBUS UNUM and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA appear at the top and bottom periphery. The mintmark is positioned on the right side of Monticello.
