coins \ Coin \ United States of America \ 5¢ (Five Cents, Nickel, Half Dime) \ Jefferson Nickels \ 1949 \ San Francisco
Collectible coins, such as the Jefferson Nickel, are a popular area of numismatics. The 5 cent Jefferson Nickel, first minted in 1938, features a portrait of President Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and his home, Monticello, on the reverse. The 1949 Jefferson Nickel minted in San Francisco (S mint mark) is particularly sought after by collectors, especially in higher grades due to its limited mintage compared to other years. Half Dimes, which were minted before the introduction of the nickel, also represent an important segment of collectible coins from the United States.
