Collectible coins include various types, such as the Jefferson Nickels, which were first minted in 1938 and feature Thomas Jefferson on the obverse. The 1961 Jefferson Nickel, made primarily of copper and nickel, is a common date within this series and is often collected by enthusiasts. The term "Half Dime" refers to early silver coins valued at five cents, which were produced until the mid-19th century. The Five Cents Nickel, introduced in 1866, was designed to replace the Half Dime and remains a popular collectible due to its historical significance and varying mintages.
