About this coinHistory

Denver struck 1,028,400,000 Jefferson nickels in 2023, just slightly above the billion-coin threshold and continuing the early-2020s high-volume pattern. Combined 2023 production from both mints exceeded 2.1 billion coins.

The coin is abundant in all grades and readily available in Mint State at minimal premiums. Denver Jefferson nickel strike characteristics in 2023 follow the typical modern pattern, with Full Steps examples achievable through careful selection.

For collectors building complete Jefferson nickel sets, the 2023-D is a routine acquisition that pairs with the 2023-P to complete the year's circulation strike representation.
