Value of 1997-P Jefferson Nickel

Value of 1997-P Jefferson Nickel

The Mint tried their idea again that they used in 1994 with creating a package deal for two coins and a banknote. This year, the 1997-P Jefferson Nickel was included in a package with a Botanic Garden Commemorative and a $2 bill. The Nickel that was in the package has a matte finish, which often brings a small premium. The circulation strike coin is just common and can be redeemed for face value. If you need help identifying your variety, please contact us.

The obverse text on the Jefferson Nickel reads “In God We Trust, Liberty, P (Philadelphia Mint)” 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.
