Collectible coins are often categorized based on their historical significance, rarity, and condition. In the United States, the five-cent nickel, commonly referred to as the Jefferson Nickel, was first minted in 1938 and features a portrait of President Thomas Jefferson. The 1957 Jefferson Nickel, specifically minted in Philadelphia, is part of a series that has gained popularity among collectors due to its relatively abundant supply and attractive design. Additionally, the Half Dime, minted between 1792 and 1873, was also a five-cent coin but is now regarded as a collectible due to its limited production and historical context.
