Description

Dansco Coin Albums have been a longtime companion for both expert numismatists and beginning coin collectors. The Jefferson Nickels 1938 to 2005 Dansco Album comes in a 7/8" binder and holds up to 175 coins. The album has 5 Dansco pages (series: 8113-1 to 8113-2, 7113-1 to 7113-5), each one holding and displaying all Jefferson nickels minted from 1938 to 2005. The 1938 Jefferson nickel was originally designed by Felix Sclag. The beloved Jefferson nickel coin had Sclag s designed until 2004, when the "Westward Journey" Nickels came to life. Each year, from 2004-2006, new obverse and reverse designs for the Jefferson nickels were minted. During World War II, 1942-1945, the composition of the Jefferson nickel changed. No nickel was used to make the Jefferson coins during this period. Those nickels were made of 56% copper, 35% silver and 9% manganese, each weighing 1.59 grams. Jefferson nickels now and before the wartime period are made of 75% copper and 25% nickel, each weighing 5 grams. All Jefferson nickels are 21.2 mm in diameter. Dansco Coin Albums have their pages attached with metal screws, making it easy to add and replace.
