History, Information, and Value of 1962 Jefferson Nickel

Value of 1962 Jefferson Nickel

While this 1962 Jefferson Nickel is one of the better looking coins in the series, expect for the center of the face and the Monticello to be worn down and show very weak details. Other than that small issue, the coin is normally nice and bright white.

The obverse text on the Jefferson Nickel reads “In God We Trust, Liberty” and the reverse text reads “E Pluribus Unum, Monticello, Five Cents, 5, United States of America.” The obverse of the coin has a bust of President Thomas Jefferson facing the left and the reverse depicts the full Monticello house built by Jefferson. Most Jefferson Nickel Five Cent pieces are worth face value. However, some of the coins have silver content or are less common. These coins may be worth slightly more.
