The Jefferson Nickel, designed by Felix Schlag, was first minted in 1938. Honored on the five-cent piece for nearly 100 years, Thomas Jefferson was only the third president featured on circulation coinage. This specific Jefferson Nickel was struck in 1950 at the Denver Mint and has been graded in Mint State 66 condition. Out of every 1950 Jefferson Nickel struck, significantly less than 1% have been graded in Mint State 66 condition with just 189 examples graded higher. With such a low MS66 population and so few graded higher, this 1950-D Jefferson Nickel is considered a Condition Rarity.
