Denver struck 373,726,544 Jefferson nickels in 1982, another substantial production year. The coin is common in all grades and readily available in Mint State. Strike characteristics for 1982-D Jefferson nickels share the weakness that affected 1982-P production, making Full Steps examples scarcer than for adjacent years.
Collectors building complete Jefferson nickel sets acquire the 1982-D without difficulty in standard grades, but specialists seeking Full Steps examples face the same strike quality challenges that affect the Philadelphia issue. Well-struck 1982-D nickels with Full Steps command meaningful premiums reflecting their scarcity in this condition.
The 1982-D represents continued Denver production during the severe recession of 1982. The facility maintained output despite the economic downturn, contributing to the American coinage supply through a challenging period. The strike quality issues that characterized 1982 production at both Philadelphia and Denver would not recur in subsequent years, making 1982 a distinctive low point in Jefferson nickel strike quality.
