Denver struck 345,600,000 Jefferson nickels in 2008, the larger of the two 2008 mintages and continuing the recession-era production reduction that affected both mints. The coin is common in all grades and readily available in Mint State at minimal premiums over face value.
Denver Jefferson nickel production has historically run higher than Philadelphia for many years in the modern era, reflecting Denver's role as the primary western branch mint for circulating coinage and its responsibility for supplying the western half of the country. The 2008-D continued this pattern even during the recession, though both mints reduced production significantly compared to the pre-crisis levels of 2007 and earlier.
For collectors building complete Jefferson nickel sets, the 2008-D is a routine acquisition. The coin is a straightforward acquisition and stands as a documentation for the Denver contribution to the recession-era Jefferson nickel sub-period.
