San Francisco struck 120,165,000 Jefferson nickels in 1969, continuing the brief revival of S-mint circulation-strike production. The coin is common in all grades and readily available in Mint State. Strike characteristics are generally strong, and Full Steps examples exist in adequate numbers for specialist demand at modest premiums.
The 1969-S is typical of the 1968-1970 San Francisco circulation-strike revival and is a straightforward acquisition for collectors. Collectors building complete Jefferson nickel sets acquire the 1969-S without difficulty through major dealer inventories.
The 1969-S represents the middle year of San Francisco's brief circulation-strike Jefferson nickel revival. The facility would continue producing both circulation strikes and proofs through 1970 before transitioning permanently to proof-only production in 1971. The three-year revival (1968-1970) is a distinctive sub-group in the Jefferson nickel series.
