Description
1938 Proof Jefferson Nickel
Framed Number 26 of 150
1938 5C Proof Jefferson Nickel in Felix Schlag Frame. Some
390 different artists were considered to design a new nickel coin
in 1938, replacing the long-running Buffalo nickel created by James
Earle Fraser in 1913. Felix Schlag won the competition, and
subsequently agreed to sign framed certificates for 150 1938 proofs
of the new coin. The nickel itself is housed centrally in the
matting, with Schlag's signature and a photo of his original design
above, and the public notary's signature and seal below. The frame
is original. We have handled several of these framed Schlag-signed
proofs. This one is numbered 26 of 150. The coin is pristine and
delicately toned with pastel lilac and champagne hues.
