Collectible coins, particularly in the United States, can vary widely in type and value, with many enthusiasts focusing on specific series or denominations. The Jefferson Nickel, minted from 1938 to present, features the profile of Thomas Jefferson and the Monticello building on the reverse. The 1959 Denver Mint issue is particularly notable as it marked the 200th anniversary of Jefferson's birth, contributing to its popularity among collectors.

Collectors often seek coins based on mint marks, such as "D" for Denver, which can significantly affect the coin's rarity and value.
