{"product_id":"1957-p-jefferson-nickel-bu","title":"1957-P Jefferson Nickel BU","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis 1957-P Jefferson Nickel BU is a well-preserved example from the middle years of the Jefferson nickel series, struck at the Philadelphia Mint during an era when five-cent pieces were still a constant part of everyday American commerce. In Brilliant Uncirculated condition, it offers the sharper detail, stronger luster, and cleaner overall look collectors enjoy when adding a nicer example to a Jefferson nickel set. Philadelphia issues from this period remain important for anyone building a complete date-and-mint run.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Jefferson nickel was introduced in 1938, replacing the Buffalo nickel and beginning a new chapter in U.S. five-cent coin design. Created by Felix Schlag, the series features Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and his home, Monticello, on the reverse. By 1957, the design had already become one of the most familiar coins in circulation, and pieces from this era connect collectors to the long postwar stretch of American coinage before the major design changes and special reverse types that came much later.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCollectors continue to enjoy Jefferson nickels because they are affordable, historic, and fun to collect by date and mint. A Brilliant Uncirculated 1957-P is especially appealing for collectors who want a cleaner Philadelphia example with stronger original eye appeal than a coin that spent years in circulation. Coins like this work well in a Jefferson nickel album, a mid-century type set, or a broader collection of classic U.S. coinage. The final sentence is an inference based on the coin’s date, mint, and BU condition.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecifications \u0026amp; Mintage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDenomination: Five Cents\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeries: Jefferson Nickel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesigner: Felix Schlag\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eComposition: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight: 5.00 grams\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDiameter: 21.20 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdge: Plain\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMint: Philadelphia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMintage: 38,400,000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYears of Issue: 1938–present\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReverse Type: Monticello Reverse\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eItem Details\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis listing includes one 1957-P Jefferson Nickel in Brilliant Uncirculated condition.
