Reverse Proof Jefferson Nickel Set RP69 (2018-2020)

Let us now turn our attention to the Jefferson Nickel, and the true gem of any nickel collection needs to include the only two reverse-proof nickels ever struck by the U.S. Mint. Only five times in the history of the Jefferson Nickel has the U.S. Mint produced a nickel with a strike other than proof (for proof sets) and coins intended for circulation. It’s a short list that includes the 2018-S reverse-proof nickel, the 2020-W reverse-proof nickel, other Jefferson Nickels with a “special frosted matte finish” as part of special commemorative coin sets issued in 1994 and 1997, and the 2017 enhanced-uncirculated nickel. The low mintage as well as the rarity of these strikes make them a true treasure in the world of coin collecting.
