1947 Jefferson Nickel U.S. Coin, Fair condition visible wear see photos. The 1947 Jefferson Nickel is a classic staple of mid-century American coinage, representing the steady post-war production of the United States Mint. Struck in the standard composition of 75% copper and 25% nickel—following the return from the silver "war nickel" alloys used earlier in the decade—the 1947 issue saw a robust mintage of over 95 million coins at the Philadelphia facility alone. While the coin is common in circulated grades, numismatists often seek out specimens with "Full Steps" (FS) on the reverse depiction of Monticello, a sharp strike detail that is notably difficult to find for this specific year due to aging dies and production haste. For collectors, the 1947 nickel serves as a bridge between the high-intensity war years and the economic boom of the late 1940s, remaining an affordable yet essential piece of any complete Jefferson series.
