1970-S Jefferson Nickel 5C Choice Proof Rainbow Toned Toning San Francisco Coin

Offered here is a 1970-S United States Jefferson Nickel in Proof, struck at the San Francisco Mint for collector proof sets. The S mint mark sits to the right of the date and the designer's FS initials are below the bust. The obverse shows Thomas Jefferson; the reverse shows Monticello. Approximate grade: Choice Proof, with reflective mirror fields, squared rims and sharp detail in the hair and on Monticello.

Rainbow toning: natural rainbow toning on both sides, with gold, rose, violet and blue tones that change as the coin is tilted in the light. Please see all the photos, taken in different lighting.

Please note: small orange-gold toning spots on the bust and coat, scattered spotting in the reverse fields, and light hairlines visible at certain angles. Please see the photos.

Composition: copper-nickel (75% copper, 25% nickel)

Denomination: 5 Cents

About the series: Felix Schlag won a public competition to design the Jefferson nickel, introduced in 1938 with Monticello on the reverse. From late 1942 through 1945 the nickel was made of 35% silver to save nickel for the war effort; these “war nickels” carry a large mintmark above Monticello.

  • Year: 1970
  • Mint: San Francisco
  • Composition: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel

WHO WE ARE Bourne2Treasure is a family-owned business based in Dayton, TN, proud to be celebrating our 25th year in operation. Along the way we’ve earned over 27,000 pieces of feedback as a seller.
SHIPPING Every coin we sell ships in protective packaging — no exceptions. The exact container depends on the shipping class: for example, our Standard Envelope option is limited to a maximum of 1/4" thickness, so a bubble mailer isn’t used there. Instead, coins travel in a vinyl flip, a thick baggie, or a cardboard flip, whichever best protects that particular coin. We ship daily, Monday through Friday, excluding all USPS holidays.
RETURNS / GUARANTEE We maintain (unless otherwise noted on items like bullion) a 30-day, FREE-to-you return policy. All we want is happy customers — if you don’t like what we send, just send it back, free of charge.
QUESTIONS? CONTACT US Contact us Monday–Friday, 9–5 EST, with any questions or concerns. Our number one goal is happy customers who buy from us time and time again. If you ever have an issue, please let us know — and remember, our return policy above has you covered.
GRADING DISCLAIMER We arrive at an approximate grade using a combination of our own years of experience and, increasingly, Artificial Intelligence (AI). We are not a professional grading service, and any grade shown is only an approximation — please make your own determination based on the photos provided.
