Philadelphia struck 898,812,000 Jefferson nickels in 1989, one of the highest production years of the decade. The coin is abundant in all grades and readily available in Mint State. Strike characteristics are strong, and Full Steps examples exist in adequate numbers for specialist demand at modest premiums.
1989 was a transformative year in world history: the Berlin Wall fell in November, the Tiananmen Square protests and crackdown occurred in Beijing in June, and the Communist governments of Eastern Europe collapsed one after another. The Cold War was ending dramatically. The Jefferson nickels struck that year circulated through one of the most consequential moments of the late twentieth century.
