Collectible coins, such as the United States five-cent nickel and half dime, are sought after for their historical significance and rarity. The Jefferson nickel, minted since 1938, includes notable issues like the 1940 coin, which is part of the series featuring Thomas Jefferson. Collectors often seek specific years and mint marks, with certain coins, including the 1940 Jefferson nickel, holding particular value depending on their condition and scarcity. The half dime, historically worth five cents, was phased out in the mid-19th century but remains a collectible favorite among numismatists.
