2,630,030 nickels were minted at Denver in 1950.
That's the lowest mintage of any Jefferson nickel, so 1950-D nickels are worth more than others of the same vintage. Interest in the coin has gone up and down over the years so retail prices have been pretty variable.
2.6 million.
In general, a US nickel has to be minted in 1945 or earlier to have any extra value but there are a lot of exceptions. The most important dates to know are:1950-D nickels are moderately scarce and worth several dollars in average condition."War nickels" 1942-1945 with a large mint mark over Monticello are worth at least $1 because they contain a small amount of silver.Common-date buffalo nickels are worth at least $1 but that can go up for coins in better condition.Older-date buffalo nickels can be worth a couple of dollars or moreCommon-date Liberty nickels are worth at least $3; older ones can be (but not necessarily are) worth more.All shield nickels are worth significant premiums.
Face value only. Nickels are the only denomination whose composition has not changed in the last 60 years so except for one or two rarer issues such as a 1950-D, they are generally not valuable.
The value of a penny with no mint mark is generally one cent. These pennies are the common cents that were minted in Philadelphia. Older (i.e. pre-1950) Philadelphia cents can be worth more but it depends on their date and condition.
1950
US nickels show a picture of Thomas Jefferson's home, Monticello, but they're not minted there. At that time there were 3 active mints: Philadelphia (no mint mark), Denver ("D"), and San Francisco ("S") although 1950 nickels weren't minted at the latter. Please see the question "What is the value of a 1950 US nickel?" for more information.
The last Buffalo nickels were minted in 1938.
2.6 million.
The only nickels to contain silver were the so-called war nickels minted from mid-1942 to 1945. Other post-1950 Jefferson nickels are worth face value unless they're in uncirculated or proof condition.
Liberty Head nickels were minted between 1883 and 1913.
Nothing in particular. Most Jefferson nickels were minted by the hundreds of millions if not billions, so they don't carry any special value. The only major exceptions are the famous "war nickels" from 1942-45 that were made of silver, copper, and manganese to save nickel for the war effort, and the 1950-D issue that sells for several dollars.
No such thing. The last year buffalo nickels were minted was 1938.
The D mint mark on any coin minted since 1906 indicates it was made at the Denver Mint.
the Value of an uncirculated "Mint State-65" 1950 Jefferson nickel minted in denver is 5/3 the value a 1945 nickel minted in Philadelphia is similar conditions. Toether the total value of the two coins is $64. What is the value of each coin?
Yes. The Key date for the Jefferson Nickel is the 1950-D. The 1938-D, 1938-S, 1939-D, 1939-S, 1951-S are also among the more sought after of the Jefferson's. Minting errors are considered collectable and some, such as the 1943 over 1942 and the 1954 S over D sell for substantial amounts. Special "war nickels" minted from late 1942 to 1945 are worth about a dollar each. These are the only US nickels that contain any silver - 35%, or 1.75 gm.
5 cents. Only a small handful of Jefferson nickels are worth more than face value, such as the 1942-45 silver war nickels, and the elusive 1950-D.
Well, for starters, think about the fact that a 5¢ piece is called a Jefferson nickel! His portrait also appears on a $1 coin issued in 2007 as part of the Presidential Dollars series. Most Jefferson nickels and ALL Jefferson dollars are only worth their stated values. Nickels from 1942 to 1945, 1950-D, and a few others are worth more, however.
