coins \ Coin \ United States of America \ 5¢ (Five Cents, Nickel, Half Dime) \ Jefferson Nickels \ 1945 \ N/A
Collectible coins, especially those from the United States, offer a wide range of interests for numismatists. The five cents nickel, also known as the Jefferson nickel, was first minted in 1938 and features a portrait of Thomas Jefferson. The 1945 Jefferson nickel, struck during the mid-20th century, is notable for its composition, as wartime shortages led to the use of a silver alloy in some issues. Collectors often seek specific years and mint marks, and the half dime, although discontinued in 1873, remains a sought-after piece for its historical significance and design variations.
