1988-S Jefferson Nickel DCAM Gem Proof INB 1988-S Jefferson Nickel DCAM Gem Proof INB Condition: This specimen is graded as a Gem Proof, indicating a high-quality strike with minimal surface distractions and sharp details. The coin is housed in an International Numismatic Bureau (INB) holder and is designated as Deep Cameo (DCAM), which signifies a strong contrast between the highly frosted design elements and the mirror-like polished fields. The minting occurred at the San Francisco Mint, denoted by the S mint mark. The metal content consists of a copper-nickel alloy (75% copper, 25% nickel). Historically, this coin belongs to the long-standing Jefferson Nickel series designed by Felix Schlag, which replaced the Buffalo Nickel in 1938. As a proof strike, it was produced specifically for collectors using specially prepared dies and planchets to achieve a superior finish.
