That's a very broad question because there are about 90 different combinations of dates, mint marks, and major varieties. Most Jefferson nickels dated 1938 to 1963 are not worth a significant premium, but there are some exceptions:

  • 1938-D : $1 to $30 depending on condition
  • 1938-S : $1 to $25
  • 1939-D : $2 to $80
  • "War nickels" 1942 to 1945 : $2 to $15
  • 1950-D : $5 to $20

Except for those "war nickels" that contain about 1.5 gm of silver, ALL other US nickels regardless of date are made of an alloy of 25% nickel and 75% copper. The only 90% silver denominations made up to 1964 were dimes, quarters, and halves.

Why is Jefferson nickel worth so much?

Jefferson nickels minted during certain years are valued higher due to factors such as rarity, condition, and demand from collectors. For example, the 1938-D and 1938-S Jefferson nickels are worth more because they have lower mintages. Unique errors or varieties can also contribute to a Jefferson nickel's increased value.

What materials are nickels before 1964 made of?

Except for special "war nickels" minted from late 1942 to 1945, all US nickels, regardless of date, are made of an alloy of 25% nickel and 75% copper. War nickels were made of an alloy of 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese because nickel metal was needed for the war effort. They're identifiable by a large mint mark letter over the dome of Monticello on the back. There's a lot of confusion about 1964 nickels because that was the last year higher denominations (dimes, quarters, and halves) were struck in 90% silver. The lowly nickel didn't change though. In fact, because it's struck in base metals the Mint churned out huge numbers of them in an effort to compensate for all the silver coins that were being withdrawn. For a while it was common to receive 10 or 15 nickels change because there weren't many higher-value coins in circulation.


How much is a Jefferson nickel worth with a p mint mark?

The value of a Jefferson nickel with a "P" mint mark will vary depending on the year it was minted, its condition, and its rarity. Generally, these coins are worth their face value of 5 cents, but some rare or highly graded examples can be worth more to collectors. It is recommended to consult a coin dealer or a coin pricing guide for more accurate valuation.

If such a coin existed it would be spectacularly valuable, but all 1964 nickels - in fact, all US nickels made since 1938 - carry a picture of Thomas Jefferson. Abraham Lincoln has been on the cent since 1909.In any case 1964-dated nickels are very common. Any found in pocket change are generally only worth face value.
