About this coinHistory

Philadelphia struck 722,160,000 Jefferson nickels in 1994, a substantial production year. 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.

1994 was the year of the Republican "Contract with America" and the midterm elections that gave Republicans control of the House for the first time in 40 years. Newt Gingrich became Speaker. The Northridge earthquake hit Los Angeles in January, and the O.J. Simpson trial dominated media coverage.
