Collectible coins include various types, such as the five-cent nickel, also known as the Jefferson nickel, introduced in 1938 to honor Thomas Jefferson. The 1954 Jefferson nickel was minted in both Philadelphia and San Francisco, with the San Francisco Mint version often being sought after due to its lower mintage and potential for higher grade specimens. Half dimes, which are denominations that predate the nickel, are another collectible type, reflecting the evolution of U.S. coinage in terms of design and composition. Collectors often seek these coins based on rarity, condition, and historical significance.
