1956 Jefferson Nickel Uncirculated INB Slab 1956 Jefferson Nickel Uncirculated INB Slab This 1956 Jefferson Nickel is presented in an uncirculated condition, preserved within an International Numismatic Bureau (INB) slab. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this copper-nickel specimen features the classic Felix Schlag design of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and his Monticello estate on the reverse. The INB holder identifies this as part of the Early Jefferson Nickel series spanning 1938 to 1976. This specific 1956 issue remains a staple for mid-century American coinage collectors, appearing here with sharp details and original mint luster protected by the secure grading holder. 1956 Jefferson Nickel Uncirculated INB Slab Condition: This 1956 Jefferson Nickel is presented in an uncirculated state, housed within an International Numismatic Bureau (INB) slab. The coin displays original mint luster with sharp details on Thomas Jefferson's portrait and the Monticello reverse. As an uncirculated specimen, it lacks the wear typical of coins found in general circulation. The Philadelphia Mint produced this coin using a copper and nickel alloy. Historically, the 1956 issue is part of the long-running series designed by Felix Schlag, which replaced the Buffalo nickel in 1938. This specific piece is a business strike intended for commerce, though it has been preserved in a high state of conservation. The INB holder labels it as an Early Jefferson Nickel, a designation used for the series prior to the 1971 composition changes and the 2004-2005 commemorative redesigns.
