About this coinHistory

San Francisco struck 828,902 proof Jefferson nickels in 2022, dropping below the one-million threshold again as proof set subscription numbers continued their gradual decline. The coin is common by proof standards and available in every grade through standard collector channels.

The 2022-S proof was distributed in the year's standard Mint Proof Set alongside the year's denominations including the five American Women Quarters from the second year of the new quarter program. Strike quality is sharp, and Cameo and Deep Cameo designations are universal on modern proofs.

For collectors building Jefferson nickel proof sets, the 2022-S is a routine recent entry that presents no particular collector challenges.
