1995-P Jefferson Nickel
This item is a United States five-cent coin, commonly known as a Jefferson Nickel, minted in 1995. The coin features the classic left-facing profile of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse, designed by Felix Schlag. It is composed of a cupronickel alloy (75% copper and 25% nickel), exhibiting a standard metallic silver-grey color. The piece measures 21.21 mm in diameter with a plain, smooth edge. Notable inscriptions on the obverse include 'IN GOD WE TRUST' at the left, 'LIBERTY' followed by the date '1995' on the right, and a 'P' mint mark indicating it was struck at the Philadelphia Mint. Regarding its condition, the coin shows signs of significant circulation wear, evidenced by the softening of details in Jefferson's hair and the high points of his face. There are visible contact marks, minor scratches, and small dark spots (carbon spots or environmental toning) across the surface. The rim appears to have minor nicks, and the overall luster is dull, indicative of a coin that has spent considerable time in commerce. Despite the wear, the primary legends and date remain clearly legible, placing it in a circulated grade.
