About this coinHistory

The 1992-S proof was distributed in the year's standard United States Mint Proof Set. Strike quality is typically sharp, with mirror fields, frosted devices, and universal Cameo designation on modern proofs from this period.

For collectors building complete Jefferson nickel proof sets, the 1992-S is a routine early-1990s acquisition. The coin is among the most affordable modern Jefferson proofs and is easily acquired through major auction houses or specialist dealers at modest prices.
