Collectible coins, such as the Jefferson nickel, are a popular category among numismatists. The Jefferson nickel, which has been in production since 1938, features a portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse. The 1961 Jefferson nickel was minted in Philadelphia, one of the main production facilities for U.S. coins. In terms of denomination, the nickel represents five cents, while the half dime was a historical five-cent coin produced prior to the introduction of the nickel. Collectors often seek specific years, mint marks, and variations to enhance their collections.
