About this coinHistory

Denver struck 1,000,080,000 Jefferson nickels in 2022, just barely crossing the billion-coin threshold. Combined 2022 production from both mints exceeded 2.18 billion coins, continuing the early-2020s high-volume pattern. The coin is abundant in all grades and readily available in Mint State at minimal premiums.

Denver Jefferson nickel strike characteristics in 2022 follow the typical modern pattern. The 2022-D is paired with the 2022-P as the year's circulation strike representation, both crossing the billion-coin mark in the same year and continuing the post-pandemic production volumes.

For collectors building complete Jefferson nickel sets, the 2022-D is a routine acquisition.
