1996 S 5C President Thomas Jefferson Nickel Proof PCGS PR69DCAM GEM Coin LIBERTY
Thomas Jefferson was an American Founding Father, the principal author of the Declaration of Independence (1776), and the third President of the United States (1801–1809). He was born in 1743 and a powerful advocate of liberty. Jefferson succeeded Benjamin Franklin as minister to France in 1785.
When Jefferson became the 3rd President, he slashed Army and Navy expenditures, cut the budget, eliminated the tax on whiskey, yet reduced the national debt by a third. During Jefferson’s second term, he was increasingly preoccupied with keeping the Nation from involvement in the Napoleonic wars in Europe.
Jefferson retired to Monticello. He died on July 4, 1826. (Source: whitehouse.gov)
