Collectible coins encompass a wide range of numismatic items, including various denominations and historical issues. The United States five-cent nickel, commonly known as the Jefferson nickel, has been minted since 1938 and features Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse. The 1972 Denver mint issue of the Jefferson nickel is notable for its design and production specifics. Half dimes, another form of five-cent coinage, were produced from 1792 to 1873, showing a transition in U.S. coinage as nickel became the standard material for the five-cent denomination.
