The Jefferson Nickel, made from a copper-nickel composition, features a diameter of 21.21 mm and weighs 5 grams. This coin is part of the broader series known as Jefferson Nickels, which have been produced since 1938. The 2012 mintage for this nickel is quite substantial, totaling 558,960,000 pieces, indicating that it was a common issue in circulation at the time. Although its width and height properties are recorded as 0, this is likely an input error, as coins do have a thickness, but it is not typically listed with standard dimensions like diameter and weight. As a modern coin, the 2012 Jefferson Nickel is not particularly rare, and in average circulated condition, it holds a nominal value of 5 cents. However, its condition, whether uncirculated or featuring unique characteristics, could potentially influence its market value among collectors. Overall, this Jefferson Nickel reflects both historical and economic elements of United States currency, serving both practical purposes in everyday transactions and a collectible aspect for numismatists.
