The Jefferson Nickel is a United States five-cent coin that was first issued in 1938, featuring a portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse.

The Jefferson Nickel has become a popular collectible due to its long production history, variations, and unique designs, while the Half Dime is sought after by numismatists for its historical significance and silver content.
