2020-W Jefferson Nickel NGC PF70 First Day of Issue 2-pc Set w/2020 Proof Set and Mercanti & Weaver Signatures

The First Nickel to Feature the “W” Mint Mark

Thomas Jefferson is one of our nation’s most important Founding Fathers. A spokesperson for democracy, he was the principal author of the Declaration of Independence and served as the third president of the United States. As president he is remembered for making the Louisiana Purchase that doubled the size of the country. Lost in all of Jefferson’s famous accomplishment is one of his first acts as president: the establishment of the United States Military Academy at West Point.

In 2020, the United State Mint’s branch mint at West Point gave Jefferson his due by striking Premium Jefferson Nickel Proof coins, the very first Jefferson Nickels to feature the “W” mint mark! But don’t expect to see these coins marching all over the place — they are available only as an extra add-on to the U.S. Mint’s 2020 Proof Sets and were packaged separately!

We’ve not only secured some of these highly coveted sets, but we’ve had the 2020-W Jefferson Nickels certified and graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), one of the world’s leading independent third-party grading services. What’s more, each 2020-W Jefferson Nickel available in this offer has been graded by NGC as being in flawless Proof-70 (PF70) condition, a distinction that means your perfectly-graded proof will have ZERO imperfections – showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended!

In addition, NGC has also certified that these 2020-W Jefferson Nickels are First Day of Issue (FDI) coins, meaning they were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository by the release date or on the business day within 24 hours of the official release date. Collectors seek out coins like these because they are produced with new dies and have sharper strikes and deeper mirrors than those that are struck later.

But here’s the real kicker: In this remarkable set you can get one coin signed by each of its designers. Each is sealed in an acrylic holder and encapsulated with an autographed label. One is signed by U.S. Mint sculptor-engraver Donna Weaver, who in 2006 created a new obverse of Thomas Jefferson, showing the Founding Father turning towards the holder. The other coin is signed by John M. Mercanti, the U.S. Mint’s 12th Chief Engraver! A giant in the numismatic world, Mercanti has produced more coin and medal designs than any person in U.S. Mint history. For the new nickel in 2006, he revived the classic Monticello image by Felix Schlag, restoring it with more detail than Americans had ever seen before.

Plus, in this offer you will also receive a 2020-S United States Mint Proof Set consisting of proof versions of the Lincoln Penny, Jefferson Nickel, Roosevelt Dime Kennedy Half Dollar, Native American Dollar and all five one-year only America the Beautiful Quarters from American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Connecticut, Vermont and Kansas. All 10 coins were struck at the San Francisco Mint and come in Gem Proof First Day of Issue condition.

Don’t delay — make sure you add these autographed 2020-W Premium Jefferson Nickel Proofs to your collection. As the first ever nickel to feature a “W” mint mark, they’re an absolute must-have!
