When you order 1960 Jefferson Nickels in this Provident Metals online listing, they will arrive to you in plastic slabs from the Professional Coin Grading Service. Using a scale of 1-70, PCGS awarded these coins a nearly perfect grade of Proof 69. Considering their age, this is quite impressive. The coins also boast the coveted Deep Cameo designation, meaning that their raised devices have a particularly strong degree of frost. This quality is then contrasted by mirror-like fields.

Obverse

On the obverse of 1960 Nickels, you will find an effigy of Thomas Jefferson. Designed by Felix Schlag, this portrait depicts the 3^rd US President in left-profile relief from the chest up. An iconic design, this bust was featured on circulating nickels from 1938 until 2004, when the mint issued a new design. The obverse field also contains inscriptions that read IN GOD WE TRUST, LIBERTY, 1960.

Reverse

The reverse side of these Jefferson Nickels features Monticello. This property built by Jefferson in 1772 has appeared on the reverse of the nickel since 1938. It is located near Charlottesville Virginia and is considered a US National Historic Landmark. You will also see inscriptions on the reverse side reading MONTICELLO, E PLURIBUS UNUM, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, FIVE CENTS.
