The coin displays circulated characteristics with visible wear on the high points of Thomas Jefferson's portrait on the obverse and the Monticello building on the reverse. The metal content consists of a copper-nickel alloy, specifically 75% copper and 25% nickel. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this business strike coin represents the post-World War II era of American coinage, following the return to the standard copper-nickel composition after the wartime silver alloy years. The surfaces show typical toning and minor abrasions consistent with a coin that has seen moderate use in commerce before being encapsulated. While the slab label identifies the series as Early Jefferson Nickel 1938-1976, it does not specify a numeric grade.
