Description
1938 Proof Jefferson Nickel
Framed Number 29 of 150
1938 5C Proof Jefferson Nickel in Felix Schlag Frame. As the
winner of the design competition for the new nickel coin in 1938,
Felix Schlag signed 150 certificates that were each then framed
with an example of the first-year proof and a photograph of the
original models Schlag submitted for the design (before changes
were made at the Mint to accommodate mass coinage). Of the 150
framed nickels original distributed, few survive, and we have seen
only a handful in the last three decades. This coin is number 29 of
150. The frame and certificate are in good condition, and the
nickel displays glimmering fields with pastel champagne toning.
Another, comparable representative of the 150 framed coins, in our
May 2023 Central States Signature, realized $8,400.
