coins \ Coin \ United States of America \ 5¢ (Five Cents, Nickel, Half Dime) \ Jefferson Nickels \ 1956
Collectible coins are categorized based on various factors, including historical significance, rarity, and condition. In the United States, the five cents nickel, also known as the Jefferson Nickel, was first issued in 1938 and features a portrait of Thomas Jefferson. The 1956 Jefferson Nickel is part of this series and is notable for its design, depicting Monticello on the reverse side. The half dime, a coin denomination historically used before the Nickel became the standard five-cent coin in the mid-19th century, is also of interest to collectors, particularly in its silver form, minted before 1873. Collectors often seek coins of this era for their numismatic value and historical context.
