Value of 1988-S Jefferson Nickel
The Mint was producing the proof coins at a higher quality than previously. The 1988-S Jefferson Nickel is no exception to that. This is a great looking coin and would add some beauty to any collection.
The obverse text on the Jefferson Nickel reads “In God We Trust, Liberty, S (San Francisco 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.
