A loose group of Jefferson nickels, the copper-nickel five cent piece designed by Felix Schlag and first struck in 1938. There is no silver here. The only silver Jefferson nickels are the wartime issues of 1942 through 1945, which carry a large mint mark above Monticello, and no war nickel appears in these photos. The coins were shot only as a heaped pile, so an exact count is impossible. Roughly 45 to 55 pieces are visible, coins underneath are hidden, and the balance cannot be confirmed from the photographs. Dates readable in the detail shots include 1958, 1959, 1971, 1976, 1977, 1979, 1980, 1990, 1994, 1996, 1998, 2000 and 2002, with nothing earlier than 1958 readable anywhere. Mint marks are not resolvable on nearly every piece, so none are claimed. Condition is mixed circulated, the Monticello steps soft on most, a few pieces nearly uncirculated with satin luster, and scattered dark spots and grime. One nickel is almost black with heavy matte corrosion; its date cannot be read. Estimated Value: $4 to $8. Sold as-is. Photos are the most accurate description of this lot.
