San Francisco struck 1,011,624 proof Jefferson nickels in 2016, the lowest modern Jefferson proof mintage in some years and reflecting gradual erosion in proof set subscription numbers. The coin is common by proof standards and available in every grade through standard collector channels.
The 2016-S proof was distributed in the year's standard Mint Proof Set alongside the year's denominations including the five America the Beautiful Quarters from the seventh year of the ATB program. Strike quality is sharp, and Cameo and Deep Cameo designations are universal on modern proofs.
For collectors building Jefferson nickel proof sets, the 2016-S is a routine recent entry. The coin presents no particular collector challenges beyond standard modern proof acquisition.
