The 1951 Jefferson Nickel is part of the long-running series minted since 1938.
Two mints produced the coin in 1951: Philadelphia (no mint mark) and Denver (D).
A key variant is the 1951-D, with a repunched mint mark known as 'D over S'.
Coins with Full Steps (FS) on Monticello have higher collectible value.
Uncirculated nickels or those with exceptional luster are prized by collectors.
The 1951 nickel is composed of 75% copper and 25% nickel, like other wartime nickels.
Special proof editions were struck in 1951, adding to the coin's collectible variants.
Check for rare overdates, errors, and die varieties that can increase a nickel's worth.
The historical and numismatic significance of the 1951 nickel adds to its allure.
Always consult a professional for accurate grading and valuation of your coins.
