Description: Here we offer a 1966 Jefferson Nickel Five Cent Coin from a Special Mint Set. Most of these coins were minted at the Philadelphia Mint. The Jefferson Nickel is a long running coin series that has seen very little change. All of our coins are hand selected for quality and appearance. Special Mint Sets were issued as partial substitutes for Proof Sets during the first 3 years of the transition from silver to clad coinage. SMS coins were of higher quality than regular circulation coins but were not polished and specially struck like proof coins. Officially the Mint said they wanted to free up coin presses to help meet the demand for clad coins as silver was withdrawn, but there was suspicion that they did not have the technology to strike proofs in clad metal because it's much harder than silver.
