The 1994 Jefferson Nickel is a U.S. five-cent coin, part of the long-running Jefferson series.
Designed by Felix Schlag, the coin features Thomas Jefferson's portrait and Monticello on the reverse.
Most 1994 nickels are made of 75% copper and 25% nickel, a standard composition for U.S. nickels.
Circulated coins are common, but uncirculated or proof coins can be more valuable to collectors.
Special mint marks like 'D' for Denver or 'S' for San Francisco can affect a coin's value.
Check for Full Steps (FS) designation, indicating a sharply struck Monticello, which increases value.
Rare errors, such as off-center strikes or double die, can turn a nickel into a collector's treasure.
Protect your coin's condition by storing it properly, away from moisture and extreme temperatures.
Consult coin value guides or a professional appraiser to accurately assess your 1994 nickel's worth.
