Value of 1977 Jefferson Nickel

Value of 1977 Jefferson Nickel

The 1977 Jefferson Nickel is nice enough, but look for sharp apparent detail. Be careful, though, because the mint added details to the obverse and reverse to strengthen the appeal. So don’t mistake your coin for being a nice fully struck coin, when it may be a weakly struck modified version. Finding the full steps may be difficult.

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.
