About this coinHistory

Philadelphia struck 607,440,000 Jefferson nickels in 2013, a moderate increase from 2012's 464 million as the post-recession production recovery continued. By 2013 the Mint's annual Jefferson nickel output had largely returned to pre-recession levels, with combined Philadelphia and Denver production exceeding 1.2 billion coins for the year. The coin is common in all grades and readily available in Mint State at minimal premiums.

Strike characteristics for 2013 are typical of mid-2010s Jefferson nickel production. The Mint's hub maintenance and die preparation procedures had been refined throughout the early 2010s, and 2013 examples generally show consistent Monticello detail. Full Steps designation is achievable through specialist channels at modest premiums over standard Gem-grade coins.

For collectors building complete Jefferson nickel sets, the 2013-P is a routine modern acquisition. The year's production was primarily directed toward circulating commerce, with Mint Set quantities representing only a small fraction of total output. Collectors acquire the 2013-P through Mint Sets, rolls, or specialist channels depending on their grade preferences.
