Collectible coins, such as the Jefferson Nickel, are sought after by numismatists for their historical significance and variations. The 1938 Jefferson Nickel, minted in San Francisco, is notable as it was the first year of this series, featuring a design by Felix Schlag. Collectors often focus on specific features, such as mint marks and grading conditions, which can significantly influence a coin's value. The "Half Dime" refers to coins valued at five cents, issued before the introduction of the nickel, and includes a rich history in U.S. coinage.
