coins \ Coin \ United States of America \ 5¢ (Five Cents, Nickel, Half Dime) \ Jefferson Nickels \ 1972
Collectible coins include various types such as bullion, commemorative, and numismatic varieties. The United States five-cent nickel, commonly referred to as the Jefferson nickel, was first issued in 1938 and features a portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and his home, Monticello, on the reverse. The 1972 Jefferson nickel is notable for its production during a period of high minting, with millions of coins struck, making some grades more valuable than others in the collectible market. Half dimes, which were minted from 1792 to 1873, also hold collectible interest, though they have a different historical context compared to the nickel series.
