1940 Jefferson Nickel, Set of 5 — Mixed Mint Marks

Five 1940 Jefferson nickels, all showing the same date — a nice little date run for the type collector. The reverse photo reveals at least one "D" mint mark (Denver) visible on the upper-right coin; the others appear to be Philadelphia issues (no mint mark), though verify each in hand. All five are circulated with moderate to heavy wear — Monticello is present but flat on the higher-relief details, and Jefferson's cheekbone shows the expected smoothing. Honest pocket change, not sliders, but solid fillers for a 1940 set. Details: - Date: 1940 - Denomination: Five Cents (Jefferson Nickel) - Mint Marks: one confirmed "D" (Denver); remainder appear Philadelphia (no mint mark) — verify in hand - Composition: 75% copper, 25% nickel (standard pre-war nickel; NOT a silver war nickel) - Quantity: 5 coins - Condition: circulated, Good to Very Good across the group All five are base metal — no silver content in this date/composition. The Jefferson nickel debuted in 1938, replacing the beloved Buffalo nickel after a 25-year run — 1940 was only the third year of the series. Gavel AI Estimated Value: $5.00–$8.00 (grade: Good).
