Collectible coins encompass various types, including historical, commemorative, and foreign coins. The Jefferson Nickel, minted in the United States, has been produced since 1938 and features a depiction of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse. The 1952 Jefferson Nickel, specifically from the Philadelphia mint, is a popular collectible due to its age and the relatively low mintage compared to other years. The denomination of five cents, commonly referred to as a nickel, is made primarily of a copper-nickel alloy. The Half Dime, though no longer in circulation, was a precursor to the nickel and represents an important chapter in U.S. coinage history.
