Collectible coins encompass a wide range of types, including historical, commemorative, and regular-issue currency. In the United States, coins such as the five cents nickel and the half dime are notable collectibles. The Jefferson nickel, introduced in 1938, features Thomas Jefferson and has various key dates and mint marks that enhance its collectibility. The 1943 Jefferson nickel is particularly interesting due to its unique wartime composition; it was minted in a copper alloy during World War II when copper was needed for ammunition, making it a sought-after item among collectors.
