I do not think it is a 1966,because the steps are to sharp.
John1 STOP THE PRESS!!!!! :) The title of the post is a 1996 Jefferson... but somehow we got onto a 1966 Jefferson...lol. You are absolutely right John, great observation there! I believe I am now seeing (and hopefully it is not paradoia) what appears to be a P mint mark. Anyone else see what looks like a P? And now that I have my bearings straight on exactly where the date should be, I'm now with CoinHunter in his evaluation. Definitely not a 1966 (as there were no mint marks this year) and the steps are definitely too sharp for a 66'. |

I thought the P mint mark was obvious to see on the coin as well as in the title. John1  |

On the 1965-1967 coins there were no mintmarks on those years. Having a 'P' mintmark there places it post 1980. But I agree with the 1996-P call or 1990-P. Making some side by sides of the date areas, should nail it down. A side point:
What is the big difference between the 1965 &1966 nickels?
1966 and forward, all had the 'FS' intials on the lower area on the obverse.Edited by coop

Thanks for the opinions. I've compared 1990 and 1996 dates and the "0" in 1990 is noticeably larger than this last digit in the date IMO. I'm pretty confident this is 1996.

Really cool catch.
At first I thought 66 and (RRDC) on the reverse.
Dah. Didn't pay attention to the title.

Just curious in the 2015 Charlton album I have it says not to clean nickel coins with acetone but rather a light soap and water cleaning (I know this is not made of just nickel,is this true for pure nickel or nickel plated coins?

I'm not sure about that Wrekkdd. I have used acetone on nickels.

Acetone is fine for nickels. Very nice coin!
