The Jefferson Nickel, introduced in 1938, is a five-cent coin produced by the United States Mint that features an image of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse. The 1973 Jefferson Nickel was minted in both Philadelphia and Denver, with the Denver mint mark 'D' indicating it was produced there. Collectible variations of the Jefferson Nickel may include different mint marks, special editions, or coins with unique errors, making them of interest to numismatists and collectors. The Half Dime, historically a denomination used before the nickel, was phased out in the 1870s, and the term "nickel" now encompasses multiple types of five-cent coins, including the Jefferson Nickel.
