About this coinHistory

Denver struck 1,003,120,000 Jefferson nickels in 2017, also crossing the billion-coin threshold and matching the Philadelphia recovery pattern. Combined 2017 output from both mints exceeded 2 billion coins, the highest annual Jefferson nickel production since 2002. The coin is abundant in all grades and readily available in Mint State at minimal premiums.

Denver Jefferson nickel strike characteristics in 2017 follow the typical modern pattern, with Full Steps examples available through careful selection. The 2017-D is paired with the 2017-P as the year's circulation strike representation, both crossing the billion-coin mark in the same year for the first time in over a decade.

For collectors building complete Jefferson nickel sets, the 2017-D is a routine acquisition. The coin documents the post-recession production recovery's completion and the return to typical pre-2008 high-volume Mint operations.
