Uncirculated Jefferson Nickels

The Jefferson Nickel was first minted in 1938, and
continues to be minted today.
In 2004 the Westward Journey Series of Jefferson Nickels
was introduced by the US Mint with a new bust of
Jefferson on the obverse (front) of the coins. The first two
Jefferson Nickels in this series were the Keelboat and the
Peace Medal Nickels. The third and fourth in the series,
American Bison and Ocean View were minted in 2005. The
final Westward Journey Series Jefferson Nickel was
minted in 2006 and is the Return to Monticello, thus named
because the original bust of Jefferson's Monticello
mansion was restored to the reverse of the coin. The new
bust of Jefferson remains on the obverse of the nickels
today. The Westward Journey Nickels were manufactured
both in Proof and in Business Strike.
This page of Jefferson Nickels offers Business Strike
coins. These coins are manufactured by the US Mint for
use in commerce. They are distributed to banks and credit
unions and used as pocket change. They are also
collected by numismatists (coin collectors).
