About this coinHistory

Philadelphia struck 1,183,680,000 Jefferson nickels in 2022, continuing the early-2020s billion-plus annual production pattern. The coin is abundant in all grades and readily available in Mint State at minimal premiums.

By 2022 the pandemic-era coin shortage had largely resolved, but Mint nickel production remained at elevated levels reflecting normal commercial demand combined with the continued American Women Quarters Program's success in driving overall Mint set sales. Strike characteristics for 2022-P are typical for early-2020s Jefferson nickel production.

For collectors building complete Jefferson nickel sets, the 2022-P is a routine modern acquisition. Full Steps examples are achievable through specialist channels at modest premiums over standard Gem-grade pieces.
