Add a standout postwar variety to your Jefferson Nickel set with this 1946-D/D 5C Jefferson Nickel, certified by PCGS as MS66 (Cert #60214874). The 1946 issue marks an important transition in the series’ early modern era, and the coveted D over D repunched mintmark variety adds an extra layer of scarcity and collector interest beyond a standard date-and-mint example.

Struck in 1946, just after World War II, this Jefferson Nickel represents a pivotal moment in American coinage history as the nation shifted back toward peacetime production. The D/D variety reflects the hands-on minting practices of the era, when repunching could create distinctive, collectible diagnostics that specialists actively pursue.
