Near Perfect 1938 Superb Proof Jefferson Nickel

1938 5C PR68 PCGS. An exceptionally pleasing coin for the type collector. This piece might be overlooked by some, but it is a significant coin as it is from the first year of the Jefferson series, thus appealing to collectors who collect in that manner. It is also among the finest examples certified--only 14 pieces have been so graded by both of the major services and none are finer (9/04). The surfaces of this proof have taken on a lovely, variegated blue-lilac combination. Well balanced on each side and essentially a perfect proof striking.(#4175) (Registry values: N991)
