1938 Jefferson Nickel. Mintage in Proof of 19,365 pieces. There have been many minor changes in the portraiture since 1938 on the Jefferson nickel, mostly in details of Jefferson's peruque and its ribbon, though the reverse needed improvement far more since the building rarely strikes completely except on these Proofs; even today it is unusual to find a nonproof nickel on which even six steps are complete and clear, all windows better than vaguely outlined. The present example typifies how a true Gem Jefferson nickel should appear! (#4175)<p><i>The Franklin Dean Collection</i>
