About this coinHistory

San Francisco struck approximately 830,000 proof Jefferson nickels in 2023, continuing the gradual decline in proof set subscription numbers that has characterized the modern era. The coin is common by proof standards and available in every grade through standard collector channels.

The 2023-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 third year of the program. Strike quality is sharp, and Cameo and Deep Cameo designations are universal on modern proofs.

For collectors building Jefferson nickel proof sets, the 2023-S is a routine recent entry.
