About this coinHistory

Philadelphia struck 399,552,000 Jefferson nickels in 1992, continuing early-1990s production. The coin is common in all grades and readily available in Mint State. Strike characteristics are strong, and Full Steps examples exist in adequate numbers for specialist demand.

1992 was the year Bill Clinton defeated George H.W. Bush in the presidential election, ending 12 years of Republican presidential control. Ross Perot's independent candidacy won nearly 19% of the popular vote, the strongest third-party showing in decades.
