The 1995 D Jefferson Nickel's inherent value comes from its authenticity and rarity. The coin is made of copper and has a silver and copper color. Its design features a portrait of Thomas Jefferson, and the back features Jefferson's Virginia home, Monticello. The particular nickel has a unique feature of Defective Clad Planchet, which makes it very collectible. The coin does not bear any certification, but that does not diminish its worth.
