Pre 1964 Jefferson Nickel DOC Circulated Condition

While the nickels show signs of use from decades in circulation, many retain clear dates, mintmarks, and strong design elements. This is an ideal way to fill holes in a collection. This nickel was originally designed by Felix Schlag, who won an award of $1,000 in a competition with some 390 artists. His design confirmed the definite public approval of portrait and pictorial themes rather than symbolic devices on our coinage.
