      Entry Details

      PCGS Number: 84009
      Coin Date: 1940-S
      Denomination (Short): 5c
      Denomination (Long): 5 Cents
      Desg: MS
      Mint Mark: S
      Composition: 75% copper; 25% nickel
      Mintage: 39,690,000
      Strike Type: Business
      Coinage Type: Jefferson nickel
      Coinage Years: 1938-Present
      Mint Location: San Francisco
      Diameter: 21.2
      Weight (Grams): 5
      Designer: Felix Schlag
      Edge: Plain
      Obverse Description: Felix Schlag's portrait of Jefferson, facing left, with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST on the left periphery, and LIBERTY * [year] on the right side.
      Reverse Description: The Jefferson home is prominently centered with the name MONTICELLO captioned below. The denomination FIVE CENTS is spelled out in half circle underneath and the words E PLURIBUS UNUM and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA appear at the top and bottom periphery. The mintmark is positioned on the right side of Monticello.
      General Notes: Mint State coins per se are plentiful, but most have problems of one sort or another—erratic luster, weak details, and sub-par eye appeal. Five Full Steps and 6 Full Steps coins exist and can be found with good eye appeal, but are few and far between. The 1940-S is a good example of the necessity to look beyond the step count and insist on eye appeal as well.
