coins \ Coin \ United States of America \ 5¢ (Five Cents, Nickel, Half Dime) \ Jefferson Nickels \ 1955 \ Philadelphia
Collectible coins, specifically the United States five-cent nickel, include notable varieties such as the Jefferson Nickel. The Jefferson Nickel, first minted in 1938, features a portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse. The 1955 Philadelphia Mint issue is particularly sought after by collectors, especially in higher grades due to its historical significance and production volume. The term "half dime" refers to earlier denominations that preceded the nickel, with the half dime being minted until the mid-19th century. Collectors often seek coins based on rarity, condition, and historical context.
