coins \ Coin \ United States of America \ 5¢ (Five Cents, Nickel, Half Dime) \ Jefferson Nickels \ 1948
Collectible coins, often sought after by numismatists, encompass various types and denominations. The United States five cents nickel, also known as the Jefferson Nickel, was first issued in 1938 and features a portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse. The 1948 Jefferson Nickel, produced after World War II, is notable for its composition of nickel and copper, with a total mintage that appeals to collectors. The term "Half Dime" refers to an earlier denomination worth five cents, primarily minted in the 19th century, and is distinct from the later nickel.
