2005-D Jefferson Nickel 5C Speared Bison PCGS MS65 Gold Shield

This sale is for a 2005-D Jefferson Nickel featuring a "Speared Bison" error certified by PCGS as MS65. This uncirculated coin was minted in Denver and is composed of nickel. The Jefferson Nickel series, produced by the United States Mint, showcases a business strike type and is a great addition to any coin collection. Population 200 in this Grade. Mint resurrected the bison reverse design on the Jefferson nickel. That same year, there were several coins discovered which contained a large die gouge. The die gouge is very noticeable and it can easily be seen running through the bison's back. The coins containing this die gouge were referred to as a Speared Bison nickel. Despite the coins being from the year 2005, they still tend to be found in low mint state grades.

Coins in MS65 grade are challenging to locate to say the least. In grades of MS66 or higher they become extremely difficult to find.
