The metal content is a copper-nickel alloy consisting of 75% copper and 25% nickel. Historically, this coin belongs to the early years of the Jefferson Nickel series, which replaced the Buffalo Nickel in 1938 and features Felix Schlag's classic design. The strike type is a standard business strike intended for circulation. The slab identifies it as an Early Jefferson Nickel (1938-1976) but does not provide a specific numerical grade on the label.
