About this coinHistory

San Francisco struck 1,135,144 proof Jefferson nickels in 2019, a slight increase from 2018 and crossing back above the one-million proof threshold. The coin is common by proof standards and available in every grade through standard collector channels.

The 2019-S proof was distributed in the year's standard Mint Proof Set alongside the year's denominations including the final year of the America the Beautiful Quarters program (2019 was the 10th and final year). The ATB program's conclusion in 2019 may have boosted proof set demand slightly as collectors completed their final-year ATB acquisitions.

For collectors building Jefferson nickel proof sets, the 2019-S is a routine recent entry. Strike quality is sharp, with universal Cameo and Deep Cameo designations.
