Collectible coins, such as the Jefferson nickel, are sought after by numismatists for their historical significance and varying value. The Jefferson nickel was first minted in 1938 and is made of a copper-nickel alloy, distinguishing it from earlier five-cent coins like the half dime made primarily of silver. The year 1965 is notable as it marks a period during which the coin's composition changed due to a shortage of silver. Collectors often pay particular attention to the mint marks, condition, and rarity of specific years, including the 1965 Jefferson nickel, which may influence its market value significantly.
